126-16 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

This two-story, two-unit building at 126-16 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Kevindra Tejiram, has experienced several notable issues since 2018, with the most recent concerns involving active violations related to external low-pressure inspections. The property, built in 1930, has had recurring heat and hot water complaints in late 2018, though inspections were unable to access the affected apartments.

More significantly, there are active violations from 2023 and 2024 regarding failure to file annual external low-pressure inspection reports, with multiple years of non-compliance documented. The building underwent a period of significant maintenance issues in late 2018, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F), which had documented problems with pests (mice and roaches), lack of smoke detectors, and several building system deficiencies including roof leaks and issues with fire-retardant ceiling materials in common areas.

An annual bedbug report was required by HPD from 2019 onwards, with the most recent filing in July 2023 showing no reported infestations for the 2021-2022 period. More recent Department of Buildings complaints in 2024 related to egress and illegal conversion were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during final inspection attempts, and a 2023 complaint regarding an illegal driveway was dismissed as warranting no violation. The property has maintained Class A status since its 2010 conversion from Class C, indicating it meets certain standards for residential occupancy.
