104-15 115th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story residential building at 104-15 115th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Steve Khan, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over recent years. Most notably, from May 2019, there was a cluster of complaints about various building conditions including heat and hot water, pest problems, plumbing issues, and multiple maintenance concerns such as problems with appliances, walls, doors, and windows. While these complaints were eventually closed, many were marked by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection, particularly during the May 2019 incident.

The building has also faced ongoing scrutiny regarding potential illegal conversion status, with five separate complaints between 2019-2025 about this issue, though inspections typically resulted in access denial. Regulatory compliance concerns were evident with multiple violations for not filing annual bedbug reports between 2021-2023, though recent records show no current bedbug infestation as of the 2024 report, with zero infested units and successful eradication of previously affected units during the 2022-2023 period. The property has been the subject of various Department of Buildings complaints, including work without a permit in 2020 which was ultimately determined not to warrant violations upon inspection.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of multiple issues requiring attention, particularly during 2018-2019, when there were two separate pest-related complaints in December 2018. Some complaints, particularly during 2019, involved emergency conditions such as heat and plumbing problems, though these were classified as resolved through subsequent inspections. The most recent regulatory activity relates to a 2025 illegal conversion complaint that also resulted in access denial for inspection. While the building shows some improvements in recent years, particularly regarding bedbug management, the historical record indicates a pattern of maintenance and regulatory compliance challenges requiring ongoing attention.
