87-54 126th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The building at 87-54 126th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Netram Shanker, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. In 2022, the property faced multiple challenges, including water leaks (both heavy flow incidents), floor issues, pest infestations, and mold concerns.

Specifically, Apartment 2A reported significant problems including mold on the south wall, floor damage, and infestations of roaches and mice, leading to multiple violations under the Housing Maintenance Code that required remediation. The building has had ongoing pest issues, with a rodent-related complaint in May 2024, though the Department of Health found no violations upon inspection. Recent activity shows some improvement in pest management, with the most recent Bedbug Report for 2025 showing no infested units and the 2024 rodent inspection resulted in a "passed" status.

However, violations requiring annual bedbug reporting were noted in inspections from 2023 and 2024, indicating some ongoing compliance requirements. Historical complaints and violations have generally been addressed, with most being marked as "closed," though a 2022 violation regarding defective laminate wood floor in Apartment 2A remains "open" as of the latest inspection. The building, constructed in 1920, features two stories and three units, and while many past issues have been addressed, the maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related, pest, and structural concerns that have required multiple agency interventions.
