94-30 Van Wyck Expressway, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, six-unit building at 94-30 Van Wyck Expressway in Richmond Hill, owned by Oudit Prasad and constructed in 1930, is currently facing several significant maintenance issues as of 2024. Recent inspections and service requests have documented multiple safety and maintenance concerns, including problems with window guards, fire escape functionality, and hazardous conditions like mold and pest infestations.

Notable violations include an open mold violation affecting more than 30 square feet in the bathroom of apartment 2R, open violations regarding broken door hardware, and fire escape maintenance issues involving defective rungs and drop ladder components. The building has also experienced issues with wall and ceiling conditions that required attention, though some of these complaints were closed without violations being issued. The property has an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 regarding an undisclosed issue related to low-pressure inspection filing, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations remain open as of September 2024.

These include problems with self-closing doors, door latches, fire escape components, and various maintenance issues throughout the building. While the building has documented bedbug inspections from 2020 to 2023 showing no occupied units with infestations during the reporting periods, the recent history of maintenance violations raises concerns about the building's overall upkeep and resident safety. The most recent wave of complaints in May 2024 resulted in multiple violations being issued, particularly regarding safety features and sanitary conditions, though some subsequent complaints from August 2024 were classified as non-emergency issues.
