127-06 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 127-06 97th Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Premnauth Phagoo, has experienced ongoing regulatory scrutiny since its construction in 2006. The building, which is legally classified as a 2-family house, has been the subject of multiple complaints and violations related to occupancy and conversion issues.

Most notably, there is currently an active complaint from January 2025 regarding Certificate of Occupancy violations, which remains open as of April 2025 following an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access. This follows a similar pattern from 2021 and 2022, where inspection attempts related to illegal conversion complaints also resulted in no access being gained.

In terms of violation history, there was a significant Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation issued in January 2022 concerning failure to comply with Department of Buildings requirements for permit signoff related to an A1 job (Permit #41009856) obtained in 2012, though this violation has since been resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's permit history shows the original construction in 2006 was for a 2-family house, but recurring complaints over the years suggest potential ongoing issues with unauthorized occupancy modifications, despite work permit history showing no alterations until 2012. The persistence of access-related issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple "Inspector Unable to Gain Access" notations, suggests either logistical challenges or cooperation issues during inspection attempts.
