109-12 Farmers Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The 109-12 Farmers Boulevard property is a two-family house built in 1931, currently owned by Roger Mesghoo and located in St. Albans. The building has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024.

The most pressing concerns involve persistent pest problems, with multiple complaints about roach and mouse infestations throughout Apartment 1A, along with recurring issues of mold, unsanitary conditions, and electrical problems. Between March and August 2023, there were at least seven documented complaints regarding pests, three of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Additional concerns include electrical wiring issues, safety inspections for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various maintenance problems such as broken plaster, defective electrical outlets, water leaks, and problematic radiator components. The property has been the subject of several housing maintenance code violations, including visible mold conditions in the kitchenette, pest infestations, and electrical issues.

As of mid-2025, there are still open violations from January 2023 regarding unsafe electrical wiring and pest infestations in Apartment 1A. In 2024, there were multiple complaints about construction-related activity, including illegal after-hours work and missing permits, though these were mostly closed without major findings. While some issues from 2023 were addressed and closed, including certain pest and safety violations, the property continues to show patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly related to sanitation and electrical systems. The building's age and documented history of various maintenance issues suggest ongoing upkeep challenges, though some improvements have been made since the initial complaints were filed.
