114-03 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, four-unit building at 114-03 Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Chris Romlakhon, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly in 2023. The property, constructed in 1920 and classified as "Hereafter Converted Class A," has documented multiple violations of Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water issues, with at least nine separate complaints filed between February and December 2023, some of which were designated as emergencies.

March 2023 was particularly problematic, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water systems, as well as safety concerns regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, all of which resulted in violations. An April 2024 inspection revealed an open violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirements. The building has also been cited for various structural and safety issues, including problems with self-closing doors in building entrances and apartments, inadequate heat supply in certain units, and a pest infestation in one apartment.

The Department of Buildings records show multiple active violations related to the failure to file required annual external low pressure inspections for the period 2018-2023. A 2018 gas utility referral complaint was closed due to inspector access issues. While some complaints have been addressed and closed, including several heat and hot water issues in early 2023, many violations remain active as of the latest available data from 2024.
