104-24 116th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The property at 104-24 116th Street in Richmond Hill is a three-story, three-unit building constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Charles Dhanpaul. The building has experienced recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations documented annually from 2021 to 2024, indicating a pattern of failure to file the required annual bedbug reports as mandated by HPD. The building underwent significant structural work in late 2019, which led to multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2020-2021 related to failure to comply with the Commissioner's orders regarding unauthorized construction.

These violations, which included penalties totaling $18,750, specifically concerned work on the front porch involving replacement of wood beams and columns. The Department of Buildings issued several permits in early 2021 for electrical work (permit sequence numbers 01 and 02), suggesting that some of the previous compliance issues may have been addressed through proper permitting channels. The property's violation history reveals a series of administrative and compliance issues between 2019 and 2021, including failure to properly certify corrections to violations and an initially hazardous condition related to the unauthorized construction work.

While these violations have been marked as resolved, the recurring nature of the bedbug report violations in recent years indicates ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. It's worth noting that the most recent bedbug reporting violation in April 2024 remains open as of the latest available data. The building's age and history suggest it has undergone various modifications over the years, with the most recent significant work appearing to be related to electrical systems based on the 2021 permit issuances.
