111-43 128th Street, Queens, NY 11420

The property at 111-43 128th Street in Richmond Hill is a two-family house built in 1920 and currently owned by Latchmin Lowharu. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in June 2022, when multiple complaints were filed regarding windows, doors, electrical systems, lighting, and plumbing - particularly involving radiators.

These complaints were notable for the inspection team's inability to gain access to the property, resulting in closed complaints without resolution. In December 2020, there were also issues with window frames that were inspected in early 2021, leading to several violations related to broken glass and window counter balance problems in the second-floor apartment, along with an infestation of mice and a loose doorknob violation that remained open as of March 2021. The building's history of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the second-floor apartment (2NDFLO), where multiple violations were documented regarding windows and door security.

There is also a concerning pattern of access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2019 and 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions. Most recently, there were three illegal conversion complaints filed between 2024 and 2025, though these were ultimately closed due to inspection access issues. The property appears to have persistent maintenance issues that may affect tenant comfort, though many recent complaints have been closed without definitive resolutions due to inspection access problems.
