104-28 117th Street, Queens, NY 11419

104-28 117th Street is a 24-unit, 4-story residential building located in Richmond Hill, built in 1922 and currently owned by Tom Sideris. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including an intercom system malfunction in May 2025, a significant water leak in March 2024, and a building-wide heat and hot water outage in December 2023.

An earlier heat and hot water issue was documented in January 2021, suggesting ongoing challenges with the building's heating system. The building has also faced various safety and maintenance violations, particularly in 2018 when multiple issues were recorded including defective glass panes in windows, soot accumulation in public areas, and problems with smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements. Specific violations that have been addressed include a December 2023 citation for defective self-closing doors in the first-story public hall, and several issues in apartment 4C relating to hot water temperature, carbon monoxide detector status, and door functionality, all of which were certified as corrected by 2022.

The building's maintenance history shows a focus on addressing violations once they are identified, though some recurring problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Positive notes include consistent bedbug and rodent-free status reports from 2017 to present, with no infestations or eradications documented in the last several years of bedbug reporting. The building's most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 show zero infested units, and a rodent inspection in 2017 passed without issues, indicating generally good pest management practices in recent years.
