120-20 103rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 120-20 103rd Avenue in Richmond Hill, built in 1925 and managed by Ana Garcia South Ozone Mgt. Corp., has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year and a half that warrant attention.

Most notably, in 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, as well as water supply and plumbing issues, all of which were documented through Housing Maintenance Code violations. The building currently has open violations from April 2024 related to inadequate hot water supply for fixtures in the 2nd floor apartment, specifically affecting the kitchen sink, bathtub, and wash basin. More recent concerns include two plumbing-related complaints from late 2024 through early 2025 that resulted in heavy water flow and bathtub/shower issues, though these inspection attempts by HPD were unable to gain access to the premises.

These plumbing problems are particularly concerning given their persistent nature over multiple reporting periods. The building's history also includes a 2019 complaint regarding suspected illegal conversion, though this was marked as closed with the inspector unable to gain access during the final attempt in March 2020. These documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing and water systems, though many of the complaints have been marked as closed without clear resolution verification, typically due to access issues during inspections.
