91-37 116th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, three-unit building at 91-37 116th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Pasquale Santamarina, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, between August and September 2019, there were multiple urgent safety-related complaints including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, window guards, and flooring. Six emergency complaints were filed during this period, along with other concerns regarding a bathtub/shower and a damp spot.

The building has persistent regulatory compliance issues, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code. In more recent developments, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsafe material storage in June 2025, with at least one resulting in an Oath Violation. Additionally, there is an active complaint from May 2025 regarding illegal commercial or manufacturing use in the residential zone of the property.

While these complaints from 2019 were largely resolved, the ongoing violations and recent complaints suggest continuing management challenges. The building's history shows a pattern of safety-related concerns, particularly in 2019, though no recent safety complaints have been recorded as of mid-2025. The property, built in 1910, has undergone conversion from its original design and now functions as a defined Class A building.
