94-03 108th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 94-03 108th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Yvonne Low and constructed in 2003, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there were multiple complaints in 2025 regarding door/window problems (particularly door frames), plumbing issues (specifically involving a basin/sink), and heat/hot water concerns, with inspection attempts often resulting in failed access by HPD. Between November 2024 and early 2025, several significant maintenance issues were documented, including heat and hot water problems, water leaks, and ceiling paint/plaster concerns, with some violations issued requiring correction.

Specific violations include problems with the self-closing door mechanisms and hinges at the entrance to Apartment 3, generally indicating potential safety and maintenance concerns. The building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with heat/hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations related to temperature regulation and system functionality. Of particular note is a complaint about illegal fastening (double cylinder key operated lock) at the building entrance door that was subsequently corrected, along with issues regarding missing safety-related postings and notices in the public areas.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug and rodent infestations, with inspections showing no evidence of these pests in the past several years, including official declarations of zero infested units in the 2022-2023 and 2020-2021 reporting periods. An active illegal conversion complaint from late 2024 was documented but resulted in an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access to the property. While some violations from late 2024 regarding smoke detector requirements and heating system access remain open as of mid-2025, others from that period have been marked as corrected through certification.
