115-04 103rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 115-04 103rd Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Shivam Sharma, has a lengthy history of maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 1920. Most notably, there are ongoing concerns regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as mandated by Housing Maintenance Code. The building has also faced multiple inspections regarding illegal conversion allegations between 2019 and 2024, with inspectors frequently unable to gain access for verification.

Additionally, there are significant safety-related violations from 2018 requiring proper posting of smoke detector, carbon monoxide, and gas leak procedures, along with proper building registration signage - all of which remain open. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues as documented through 311 service requests in March 2019, including problems with pests, wall and ceiling plaster, and slow water leaks - though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints. Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 show a pattern of non-compliance regarding work permits, with penalties totaling over $23,000, though the status shows as resolved.

Recent building records show a permit issued in August 2021 for unspecified work (Job No. 421777795). Inspections from late 2018 and early 2019 revealed rodent-related compliance failures. While some historical violations have been resolved or dismissed, the persistence of recent violations, particularly regarding safety signage and bedbug reporting, suggests ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
