95-30 134th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The 2-family house at 95-30 134th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Bibia Sankar, is a 2-story residential building constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several significant issues, particularly during 2018-2019, when it faced multiple violations related to unauthorized conversions and safety concerns.

Most notably, there was unlawful conversion of the cellar into a Class A apartment, complete with unauthorized gas and plumbing installations, which prompted multiple Environmental Control Board violations between June and December 2018, with penalties totaling $4,875. These violations included lack of proper egress for the converted space and occupancy beyond permitted limits, with five occupants in a cellar apartment that allegedly required additional emergency exits. The Department of Buildings recorded several related complaints in 2018-2019, including illegal conversion and zoning non-conformity issues.

An inspection in February 2020 was marked by the inspector's inability to gain access to the property. While many of the violations were subsequently resolved, including multiple dismissals of immediately hazardous violations in late 2018, there was also a late-stage violation in August 2019 related to failure to certify corrections. The most recent building data shows no active violations or complaints as of July 2025, but the earlier history suggests significant past compliance issues that were eventually addressed over time.
