134-07 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 134-07 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by 134-07 101 Ave LLC, has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, most recently in October 2023, when complaints about both pests and mold were filed and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These recent incidents follow a troubling pattern, as there were multiple pest-related complaints in 2021, and evidence of moisture issues including slow water leaks was documented in both 2021 and 2020.

The building's maintenance history shows several emergency and non-emergency complaints, including a door/window issue, water leak problems, and a fire escape safety concern in 2020, though notably, no violations were ultimately issued in connection with any of these complaints. Additional records indicate two separate investigations into alleged illegal conversions at an adjacent address (114-19), with access denied to inspectors on both occasions in 2021 and 2023, with one of these cases remaining open as of August 2024.

The property, constructed in 1920, is a two-story structure with two units, and while the recent pest and mold complaints have been closed without violations, the frequency of similar issues over the past five years raises concerns about building maintenance consistency. The documented complaints, particularly those related to unsanitary conditions and water issues, suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep, though it's worth noting that all complaints were promptly investigated and closed by HPD. The house's age and building class as a two-family dwelling indicate typical residential characteristics for the Richmond Hill neighborhood.
