101-04 116th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 101-04 116th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Nazim Gafur, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in September 2024, there was a documented complaint about mold and unsanitary conditions, though no violations were found upon inspection.

Prior to that, in November 2023, there was a complaint regarding heat and hot water issues in one apartment, but inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problem. The property has been subject to multiple complaints about illegal conversions between late 2023 and 2025, with inspections consistently failing due to lack of access - these complaints remain a significant concern as they potentially indicate unauthorized modifications to the building's structure or units.

Additionally, there have been two permit-related complaints recorded in 2024 and 2025, one of which resulted in a request for corrective action in October 2024, though this was ultimately closed after showing correction. It's worth noting that all housing maintenance code complaints have been classified as emergencies, underscoring their potential seriousness. While some issues have been resolved or closed, the pattern of access violations during inspections (seven separate instances) raises questions about building access procedures, and the recent mold complaint indicates continuing maintenance challenges.
