101-41 125th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The property at 101-41 125th Street is a three-story, three-unit building in Richmond Hill, owned by Steve Sultan and constructed in 1920. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout 2021, with multiple complaints documented in August and September of that year, including problems with flooring/stairs, plumbing, and unsanitary conditions related to pests and mold. These complaints resulted in both investigated violations and situations where inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation.

The property has also been subject to several open violations since October 2021, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), including issues with leaky faucets, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and problems with carbon monoxide detectors. The building's management has faced challenges with compliance and reporting requirements, as evidenced by three consecutive annual bedbug report violations from 2021 to 2024, though the most recent 2024 filing indicates no infested units. The property has a documented history of unauthorized commercial use complaints from 2019 through 2023, primarily regarding allegations of illegal commercial/manufacturing activities in the residential zone, though most of these complaints were ultimately determined not to warrant violations upon inspection.

Additional concerns include an open violation from 2021 regarding broken or defective mailboxes and various plumbing issues. The building's front yard was cited in 2020 for parking violations involving unlicensed vehicles, resulting in a $625 penalty. While there have been periodic rodent inspections, with one failure noted in December 2019, the most recent inspection in March 2020 resulted in a passing grade. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of needing attention to basic upkeep and regulatory compliance, particularly in regards to pest control and general maintenance issues.
