126-11 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The property at 126-11 Liberty Avenue is a 2-unit, 2-story building located in Richmond Hill, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Ershaad Ally. The building has experienced several significant safety and regulatory issues recently, with the most pressing concerns emerging in mid-2024. In June 2024, multiple open violations were documented following a Housing Preservation and Development inspection, including failures to post required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and the building's registration information in common areas.

These violations indicate potential safety compliance gaps within the building. Prior to this, in 2023-2024, there were inspections resulting in violations for unauthorized construction work, including basement excavation and electrical installations, for which the owner was fined a total of $2,850 (though these violations were eventually resolved). The building also has a recurring issue with filing annual bedbug reports, with open violations dating from 2021 through 2024, suggesting inadequate compliance with housing maintenance requirements.

The property has undergone various inspections and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past two years. In 2023, there were temporary violations related to external pressure inspections, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building's emergency escape routes have been inspected without violations being found, though there was a safety complaint regarding the fire escape in June 2024 that required HPD inspection, which resulted in no violations being issued. It's worth noting that while many of the violations documented in Housing Maintenance Code violations are listed as "open," indicating they may still require resolution, the exact current status of these violations should be verified with the appropriate regulatory authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
