125-14 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The 2-unit, 2-story residential building at 125-14 Liberty Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by John Farina and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, the building faced multiple violations requiring HPD intervention, including problems with an electric/gas range, lighting, sink, and toilet facilities, all classified as either emergency or non-emergency complaints. An earlier incident in December 2024 involved heat/hot water issues that were reportedly resolved within two days.

The building has a consistent record of proper bedbug management, with no reported infestations in any of the annual bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024, showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units during these periods. While the property has had four bedbug-related violations between 2021-2024 regarding late reporting of annual bedbug information (with at least one violation occurring in April 2024), these were administrative in nature and not related to actual infestations. The most recent service requests and violations suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2025, when multiple systems required attention within a short timeframe.

However, all 2025 complaints were inspected and closed, with violations issued and time allowed for corrections. The building's overall history shows no major safety concerns or recurring pest problems, though the recent cluster of maintenance issues in 2025 indicates some current challenges with building systems requiring monitoring. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent report from June 2024 showing no active issues.
