AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, five-unit building at 111-15 Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Motielall Shivtahal and constructed in 1920, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2025. The most recent problems include multiple complaints about electrical wiring issues (May 2025) and pest infestations (May 2025), as well as heat and hot water problems documented in December 2024 and February 2025. Notably, during these inspections, HPD inspectors were consistently unable to gain access to the apartments requiring inspection, with no timely responses from residents to schedule follow-up inspections. The building has open violations related to bedbug reporting for the years 2021-2024, indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

The property has a history of various maintenance and safety issues, including plumbing problems in 2021 (bathtub/shower), pest infestations, and multiple heating system complaints. Inspection records from 2019 show violations related to building safety systems, including painted sprinkler heads in public areas and issues with self-closing doors, though these were subsequently closed. While there was one complaint about illegal commercial use in 2019, it was determined no violation warranted action at the time of inspection. More recently, the building received violations in 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, though these were dismissed in early 2024. A rodent inspection in 2011 passed, suggesting compliance with those specific requirements at that time.

The consistent pattern of inspection access issues and recurring maintenance complaints, particularly regarding electrical systems, heat/water, and pest control, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and communication between management and tenants.
