107-12 127th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family house at 107-12 127th Street in Richmond Hill, built in 1925 and currently owned by Donald Mastroianni, has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. The building experienced significant regulatory scrutiny in 2018, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations issued against Safeguard Homes LLC, totaling $20,000 in penalties. These violations, which were eventually resolved, primarily concerned unauthorized construction work and failure to comply with the Commissioner's orders regarding permits and required corrections.

The most serious of these violations documented improper removal of walls, ceilings, plumbing lines, and electrical systems on both the first and second floors. In 2020, there was a complaint regarding unlicensed plumbing work, though the inspector was unable to gain access to verify the claim. The property has also faced periodic pest control challenges, including a mosquito infestation report in 2018 which was investigated by the Department of Health.

Building inspections for rodent control showed mixed results, with failures noted in 2011 and 2017, though subsequent compliance inspections in both years passed. More recently, the building has obtained necessary permits for various maintenance work, with plumbing and electrical permits issued in late 2018 and early 2020, suggesting some effort towards addressing previous violations and maintaining the property. A 2019 violation for failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous condition was eventually dismissed by the Department of Buildings. While the building has faced multiple compliance issues over recent years, records indicate that most violations have been resolved and permits for necessary work have been obtained, though the pattern of previous violations raises some concern about past maintenance practices.
