93-12 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family residential building at 93-12 123rd Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Kevin Shanker, has experienced several significant compliance issues since 2018, particularly regarding unauthorized conversions and safety violations. In 2018, the property was found to have an illegal Class "A" apartment in the cellar, which had been improperly modified with partition walls, new electrical wiring, and gas lines.

This unauthorized conversion led to multiple violations and hefty penalties totaling $42,125, though records indicate all fines have been resolved. The building faced a series of inspections and complaints throughout late 2018 and 2019, including issues related to construction work, building shaking concerns, and unauthorized commercial use, though most inspections resulted in no violations being found. While the property appears to have been in compliance with regulations since late 2019, the building's recent history shows no major safety concerns or violations in the past three years.

Additionally, the building has undergone bedbug inspections between 2020-2021, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts needed, suggesting good pest management practices. The most recent documented issue dates back to 2019, when violations were filed for failure to correct immediately hazardous conditions, though these were ultimately dismissed in early 2019 after payment of fines. The building's Certificate of Occupancy class is listed as 2 Family, corresponding to its two existing residential units.
