104-54 118th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 104-54 118th Street in Richmond Hill, built in 1920 and currently owned by Diahn Liang, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. In early 2021, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including electrical outlets/switches, a bathtub/shower, a refrigerator, and a door, with inspections revealing violations specifically related to the electrical outlets and door repairs needed in the first-floor apartment.

The building has a concerning history of rodent inspections, with six inspections between 2013 and 2017 showing repeated failures for various unspecified reasons. The property has also been subject to multiple illegal conversion complaints between 2021-2024, with two complaints receiving a "Request For Corrective Action Issued – Corrected" disposition, and an illegal hotel room complaint in 2021 where access was denied. Other significant issues include a defective electrical wiring complaint in 2019 where access was also denied, though no violations were found during a 2020 professional certification compliance audit.

More recent history includes a 2024 complaint regarding an illegal curb cut/driveway/installation that was found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's permit history shows activity in late 2018 with permits issued for plumbing and electrical work, suggesting some attempts at addressing the building's infrastructure needs, though the status of these repairs is not documented in the current data set. While many of the 2021 complaints were addressed through inspections, with some being closed due to no violations found, the building still has open violations concerning a broken door lock assembly and defective electrical outlets in the first-floor apartment as of March 2021.
