130-19 Foch Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 130-19 Foch Boulevard in South Ozone Park, owned by Leila Richmond, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most clusters of problems occurring in mid to late 2023. The building, constructed in 1935, faced multiple plumbing-related complaints between August and October 2023, including emergencies involving bathtubs/showers and basins/sinks, as well as non-emergency issues.

Several door and window-related problems were reported during this period, including emergency situations with doors and window frames. Health and safety concerns were also noted, including unsanitary conditions related to pests in September 2023, which required inspection but resulted in no violations. The most recent complaint as of August 2024 was regarding standing water on the sidewalk, which was inspected by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations found.

Notably, there was a carbon monoxide detector safety issue reported and resolved in September 2023, which presents a potential safety concern though it was addressed. Throughout this period, there were several instances where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect reported conditions, particularly regarding doors/windows and plumbing issues. While many of the complaints were ultimately closed without violations being found, the frequency and variety of issues reported suggest there have been persistent maintenance challenges in the building, particularly during the latter half of 2023.
