108-05 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 108-05 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by James Vaccaro, has experienced recurring pest issues over the past several years, most recently evidenced by a March 2025 complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests that was closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building has a documented history of pest infestations, including mice and roaches in apartment 1R in 2019, and bedbug issues in apartment 3R in 2018.

Heating system problems have also been a concern, with a building-wide heat and hot water emergency complaint recorded in December 2022, though inspection access was again not granted. Several maintenance code violations have been documented, including an immediate emergency in 2018 related to a hair salon awning obstructing a fire escape, and various issues in 2018 requiring attention to safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection and gas leak procedures.

While the building has undergone rodent inspections from 2015 to 2018, showing some improvement with passed inspections in 2015 and 2016, there have been multiple failures for "Other Reasons" in both 2016 and 2018, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges. The building's bedbug reporting records from 2018 to 2024 indicate no infestations during these periods, though the persistent nature of other pest complaints suggests attention to vermin control remains necessary.
