95-52 112th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 95-52 112th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Tara Singh and constructed in 2007, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past two years. Most recently, in July 2024, multiple complaints regarding pest infestation were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), three of which resulted in violations during inspections. Earlier in 2024, there were also issues noted with garbage/recycling storage that resulted in violations.

The building has a documented history of utility and maintenance problems, particularly in early 2023, when complaints were filed regarding heating, hot water, electrical issues, and ventilation systems, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification. Additionally, August 2023 brought a series of maintenance issues including problems with windows, smoke detectors, and appliances, all of which were subsequently closed. The property has also faced scrutiny regarding potential illegal conversions in 2018, with two complaints filed in October and August of that year, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification in both cases.

The building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with unsanitary conditions and pest management. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and violations, the pattern of complaints indicates persistent problems with timely maintenance responses. The most recent complaints regarding pest infestation in July 2024, which remains open, are particularly noteworthy as they represent the building's current living conditions. The property has generally complied with inspection requirements, though there have been notable instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to units during investigations, which could delay resolution of maintenance issues.
