87-44 126th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-story, three-unit New Law tenement building at 87-44 126th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Reynaldo Santos and constructed in 1920, has experienced several notable issues over the past five years, though recent conditions appear stable. The property faced significant heat and hot water problems in January 2021, with multiple tenant complaints requiring HPD involvement, though some complaints were eventually closed due to lack of access for inspection. Prior to this, in December 2020, there were multiple maintenance concerns including issues with flooring, a refrigerator, and mold, though these were either corrected or closed without violations.

The building has been subject to two separate bedbug reporting violations in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating an infestation problem. Importantly, the most recent bedbug reports for 2023-2024 through 2024-2025 show no instances of infestation or eradication. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and subsequently addressed, with HPD inspections confirming resolution of some problems while others required new complaints to be properly addressed.

A complaint regarding work without a permit was filed in February 2021, but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. It's worth noting that all bedbug reports filed between 2019 and 2024 show zero infested units, suggesting effective pest management once the reporting requirement was complied with. The building's 2024-2025 bedbug report represents the fifth consecutive year with no reported infestations, indicating stable current conditions.
