132-04 111th Avenue, Queens, NY 11420

At 132-04 111th Avenue in Richmond Hill, this 1925 two-family residence owned by Urmee Kabir has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly during early 2024. Of particular concern is a pattern of heating system failures, most notably a heat and hot water outage in February 2024 that required HPD intervention.

The building has also faced multiple safety concerns, including violations related to carbon monoxide and smoke detectors during the same month. Additional February 2024 issues included plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower, pest infestations, and various maintenance concerns such as door/window frame issues, wall damage requiring paint/plaster work, and cabinet problems – with some complaints being closed without inspection due to lack of access. More recently, in September 2024, two active violations were issued regarding the failure to file both internal and external high-pressure inspections for 2023.

This follows a history of similar violations, with prior failures to file 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 high-pressure inspections. While some of these earlier violations, issued in June 2023, were subsequently dismissed, it appears the building has continued to struggle with maintaining necessary inspection compliance. The combination of ongoing heating system issues, safety concerns, and high-pressure inspection violations suggests persistent maintenance challenges, though it's worth noting that some February 2024 complaints were resolved without violations being issued, including pest control and security assessments.
