103-29 118th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The 4-story, 3-unit residential building at 103-29 118th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Brij Nayyar and constructed in 2007, has recorded several significant incidents affecting tenant safety and building compliance over the past few years. Most notably, in early 2023, the building experienced safety-related issues with both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD); however, no violations were ultimately issued in connection with these complaints. The building currently has four open Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with inspection dates spanning from 2021 to 2024.

These violations may indicate ongoing compliance challenges with the Housing Maintenance Code's bedbug reporting requirements. The property has also faced issues related to parking and occupancy compliance. In July 2023, two Environmental Control Board violations were recorded regarding occupancy contrary to that allowed by the Certificate of Occupancy and violations of parking regulations in a residential district, specifically noting illegally parked vehicles that created hazardous conditions for pedestrians.

These violations were resolved with no penalties imposed. The building's Certificate of Occupancy and zoning compliance have been scrutinized, with closed complaints from 2018 (regarding non-conforming zoning) and 2023 (affecting building records). While the building's age is relatively recent (built in 2007), these documented incidents suggest periodic challenges with both safety systems and regulatory compliance that have required intervention from city agencies.
