124-12 109th Avenue, Queens, NY 11420

The 2-story, 4-unit tenement building at 124-12 109th Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Maharani Pokhai, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years since 2024. The building has ongoing violations that potentially affect resident safety and security, including open Class A and B violations from November 2024 related to building entrance security, such as a broken vestibule door lock, defective front entrance door, and an improper self-closing mechanism. There are also active violations regarding pest infestations in apartment 2R, documented in August and November 2024, specifically citing issues with roaches and mice.

The building has shown recurring problems with doors, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints throughout 2024-2025, with inspections resulting in violations in several cases. In late 2024, additional issues were documented regarding unsanitary conditions, including mold, and in August 2024, plumbing problems were reported involving the bathroom toilet. The building's most recent documented issues as of 2025 include multiple door-related complaints (most recent in June 2025) that have resulted in violations requiring the owner to address the conditions.

While some complaints have been closed following inspections, the pattern of violations suggests persistent maintenance challenges. Notably, there was a rodent inspection conducted in June 2024 that passed, though this followed earlier complaints about pest infestations. The building's violation history indicates ongoing attention required to address basic maintenance and living conditions, with several issues remaining open as of the latest available data.
