118-16 91st Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

118-16 91st Avenue is a 4-story, 31-unit New Law Tenement building located in Richmond Hill and built in 1931, currently owned by Raphy Benaim. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple violations issued for water leaks, plumbing problems, and water damage affecting ceilings, particularly notable in May 2025 when housing maintenance code violations were documented for heavy flow water leaks, ceiling paint issues, and bathtub/shower problems. Prior to this, in February 2025, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges including potential lead paint concerns in window frames, door frames, and walls, though some of these inspections found no violations.

The building's history includes significant violations identified in May 2024 concerning Apartment C8, including lead paint hazards, defective window guards, and missing carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations from this inspection were subsequently closed. Earlier records from 2018 show complaints about an illegal curb cut, though this was resolved through an ECB violation. The property has been regularly inspected for bedbugs between 2019 and 2025, with all reports indicating zero infested units or related issues.

Recent and historical complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water-related issues, lead paint compliance, and building systems. The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent monitoring with no infestations recorded. While some violations have been resolved, others remain open or were only recently issued, indicating potentially ongoing maintenance concerns that require attention.
