121-05 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The property at 121-05 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill is a 2-story, 3-unit residential building built in 1930, currently owned by Roy Narain. The building has experienced a series of maintenance issues in recent years, with particular problems emerging in mid-2024. Between August and September 2024, there were multiple emergency plumbing complaints involving bathtubs/showers and sinks, as well as pest-related issues, resulting in several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Of particular concern are three open violations from September 2024 in the 2nd floor apartment: an active infestation of roaches in the bathroom, issues with the bathtub drain, and the missing carbon monoxide detection devices, which are classified as Class B violations indicating moderate to serious conditions. Additional violations from August 2024 involve bathroom maintenance issues such as broken tiles and defective plastered surfaces, as well as a concern about a defective vestibule door on the first story. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with plumbing systems and bathroom facilities, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024, including violations related to unsanitary conditions and defective fixtures.

The property has also faced some environmental and safety concerns, including a noteworthy Department of Buildings environmental control board violation from July 2023 regarding an improperly braced window AC unit, for which a $625 penalty was imposed. While the building has had bedbug inspections between 2019 and 2024, these reports consistently show no infestation issues during the monitored periods. Two other complaints of note in recent history include a 2021 complaint about illegal conversion (access denied upon inspection) and a 2023 complaint about debris, which were both closed. The most recent heating/hot water complaint dates back to 2023, suggesting historical issues with basic building systems, though there were no violations issued in those instances.
