104-11 126th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The 2-family house at 104-11 126th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Michael Duvalle, has experienced significant ongoing maintenance issues since late 2023. The most pressing concerns have been related to heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2023 and early 2025, including documented violations of the Housing Maintenance Code regarding inadequate heat supply and hot water exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2.

The building has also faced persistent pest problems, particularly in Apartment 2, with violations recorded in February 2024 for both mouse and roach infestations, though some earlier pest complaints from December 2023 and May 2023 resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The property has active open violations as of October 2023, including issues with carbon monoxide detection devices, electrical outlets, and bathroom floor tiles in Apartment 2.

Recent service requests in 2025 have continued to document heat and sanitation concerns, including a garbage storage complaint that resulted in an inspection revealing no housing law violations. Additionally, there have been three Department of Buildings complaints regarding potential illegal conversion and certificate of occupancy issues between October 2024 and April 2025, all of which resulted in access denial during inspections, though these concerns appear to be at a separate address (114-19 126th Street). The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of requiring multiple service requests to address recurring issues, with some inspections being unable to access the premises for verification of reported conditions.
