114-06 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

This two-family house at 114-06 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Simarject Singh, was constructed in 1920 and is currently undergoing significant maintenance and compliance issues as of 2025. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 2019 and December 2019, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. These issues led to several open violations as of December 2019, including defective radiator shut-off valves and inadequate hot water supply in both apartments (1FL and 2FL), along with concerns about carbon monoxide detection devices. The building has also faced serious occupancy and safety concerns.

Multiple illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2019 and 2020, though inspections resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings or access denial. Safety violations from August 2019 included water leak issues in both the first-floor apartment's bathroom and the cellar ceiling. The property has active environmental control board violations related to failure to comply with commissioner orders regarding illegal occupancy, extending from March 2019 through November 2019, though these were ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed. Additional compliance issues are noted in 2019 concerning egress problems and boiler concerns, with inspections showing no violations in most cases.

The building's history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly during late 2019 when there was a pattern of heat and hot water complaints. Multiple inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unsuccessful due to access issues, which has been a recurring theme in various complaints. The property has been the subject of multiple violation notices and complaints regarding safety equipment, plumbing issues, and occupancy concerns, suggesting a need for improved maintenance and compliance protocols. As of today (July 2025), many of these historical violations have been resolved, but the persistent pattern of complaints in 2019-2020 indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges for this building.
