97-27 117th Street, Queens, NY 11419

Located in Richmond Hill, this three-unit, three-story, Class A converted building at 97-27 117th Street was constructed in 1920 and is currently owned by Daniel Alarcon. The property has experienced various maintenance issues, most notably in 2018 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with window guards in apartment 3FL, building entrance doors, fire egress, and various electrical components in public areas.

These violations, which included unsafe conditions such as a defective fire egress gate and multiple loose electrical fixtures, were all subsequently addressed and closed. The building also faced pest-related concerns in July 2018, leading to two unsanitary condition complaints, though no violations were found upon HPD inspection. More recent records indicate improved conditions, as evidenced by the building's bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2025, showing consistently zero infested units across all reporting periods.

The most recent bedbug report from May 2025 confirmed no infestation issues for the previous period (2023-2024) and indicated that the property has been compliant with annual bedbug reporting requirements. An inspection in March 2023 resulted in a violation related to bedbug reporting, but this was likely addressed given the subsequent filings. The resolution of the 2018 violations and the absence of recent bedbug infestations suggest improved building maintenance, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of both safety-related violations and pest issues from 2018.
