97-39 109th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story residential building at 97-39 109th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Balvir Singh, has been continuously monitored for various health and maintenance issues since its construction in 2006. Most notably, the building currently has four open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, with these violations spanning from 2021 through 2024.

Recent inspection activity shows mixed results regarding pest management, with a rat sighting reported and investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in June 2025 (though this inspection found no violations), and an initial rodent inspection in July 2025 that resulted in a passing grade. The building's history also includes one documented incident of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage in 2022, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but ultimately resulted in no violations being issued.

While the property has generally maintained compliance with inspection requirements, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations (covering multiple years) and the recent rodent-related incidents suggest ongoing challenges with pest management and documentation compliance. However, it's worth noting that recent inspections (including the July 2025 rodent inspection) have generally resulted in passing grades, indicating at least some responsiveness to these issues when they are brought to official attention. The building's relatively recent construction (2006) distinguishes it from many older buildings in the area, though this has not necessarily precluded the emergence of these maintenance challenges.
