103-16 121st Street, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 103-16 121st Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Satya Gawrinauth, has a mixed record of maintenance and compliance since its 1925 construction. The property has faced recurring issues with pest control and heating systems, most notably in February 2020 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions and heating problems affecting the entire building.

These complaints were investigated but not fully resolved, as inspectors were unable to gain access to perform necessary verifications. The building has also had persistent violations regarding annual bedbug reporting requirements, with documented violations in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024 showing failure to file the required reports as per the Housing Maintenance Code. The property has experienced several concerning safety-related complaints, including two reports of potentially blocked egress paths in 2019 and 2020, though inspections found no violations at the time.

The most recent inspection in April 2024 also noted an illegal conversion complaint, but inspectors were again unable to gain access to verify the conditions. While the building's bedbug reporting has shown zero infestation cases over the past four reporting periods (from 2021 through 2025), it's worth noting that these reports were submitted following previous violations, suggesting improved compliance with reporting requirements. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with basic systems and safety compliance, though recent years have shown some improvement in infestation management as evidenced by the clean bedbug reports.
