118-05 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 118-05 Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Fereydoun Khalili and constructed in 1931, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024. The most pressing current issues involve multiple violations related to lead-based paint hazards in the 2nd floor apartment, including peeling paint on various surfaces such as walls, windows, and radiators, along with required lead paint hazard control activities that remain incomplete. The building has also faced significant health and safety concerns, with simultaneous complaints in July 2024 regarding mold and unsanitary conditions.

Other maintenance issues in 2024 included problems with walls and ceilings, plumbing water supply concerns, and electrical issues. The property has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, and passed recent rodent inspections. Looking at the building's history, there was a notable incident in 2018 involving unpermitted construction of a metal structure with electric lighting at the front of the premises, which resulted in fines, though this issue appears to have been resolved.

Two additional Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in 2024 resulted in violations being issued, particularly during inspections of paint/plaster conditions and unsanitary conditions. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues throughout 2024, including complaints about wall and ceiling conditions, plumbing problems, and electrical systems. While some of these issues have been addressed, as evidenced by the closing of many service requests, several violations remain open as of the most recent inspection in July 2024. The property has active complaints regarding storefront signage as of April 2025, though this may pertain to a different address based on the complaint information.
