104-35 120th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 104-35 120th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Nehi Sharma, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been recent heating system failures, with a heat and hot water emergency reported in late November 2024, though conditions were reportedly restored during inspection.

The building has documented multiple violations from late 2024, including electrical wiring issues, unsanitary conditions with pests, and various plumbing problems. A wave of complaints in October 2024 led to multiple violations being issued, including concerns about windows and doors, water leaks, and sanitary conditions, specifically affecting the second-floor apartment. The property has several specific violations that have been documented and required correction, including window counterbalance issues, water supply problems, and the presence of cockroaches in the kitchen.

The Department of Buildings currently has an active complaint filed in December 2024 concerning possible illegal conversion at an adjacent address (11419), though the inspector was unable to gain access during the first attempt in February 2025. While many of the violations have been officially closed as of early 2025, including water supply repairs, carbon monoxide detector installation, and various other maintenance issues, the building's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property, constructed in 1920, is experiencing typical aging building issues, particularly in its second-floor apartment (apartment 2), which has been the primary focus of recent complaints and violations.
