109-54 118th Street, Queens, NY 11420

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 109-54 118th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Stephen Harris, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout 2023 and into 2024. Most recently, in November 2023, the building faced plumbing issues with toilets and ceiling plaster problems, with violations issued for the latter. Other notable concerns have included repeated ceiling paint/plaster issues, slow water leaks, and sanitation complaints regarding pests.

Of particular significance is a pattern of maintenance concerns affecting Apartment 2, including multiple violations issued in November 2023 relating to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, ceiling mold, and plaster/paint conditions. The building also experienced an emergency heat and hot water outage in April 2023, though these services were reportedly restored promptly. The property has faced various building code violations, including a C violation in October 2023 for water leaks in public hall ceilings, and a B violation for ceiling repair needs.

Historical records indicate some infrastructure issues, including concerns about a curb cut/driveway in 2020-2021, resulting in two Environmental Control Board violations for unauthorized parking and sidewalk modifications. However, positive features include consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infestations across the last four reporting periods from 2022 to 2025, and passing rodent inspections in 2015. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing violations, with particular clusters of issues emerging in recent months related to plumbing, plaster, and ceiling conditions.
