117-10 Atlantic Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, two-family house at 117-10 Atlantic Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Vijay Kumar, has experienced several recurring issues over the past two years, most notably multiple food establishment complaints between 2021 and 2024, with eight incidents specifically citing "Rodents/Insects/Garbage" problems, and one each for "Food Temperature" and "Food Contaminated" complaints, all of which were ultimately closed. The building has maintained two consecutive passing rodent inspection results in 2013 and 2019, suggesting some improvement in pest management.

In January 2019, three emergency complaints were filed regarding door/window and heat/hot water issues, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though only one violation was issued related to a defective building entrance door lock on the first story, subsequently certified as repaired in February 2019. Prior to these recent issues, there was a notable Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from February 2018 regarding unauthorized construction work at the rear yard, involving a wood structure attached to the building with electrical modifications, for which a penalty of $800 was imposed and resolved.

While the building dates back to 1901, these records indicate a pattern of maintenance and safety concerns over the past several years, particularly regarding food establishment-related issues, though most recent complaints from 2022-2024 have been administratively closed. The property appears to be undergoing regular maintenance and addressing violations as they arise, based on the closure status of most complaints.
