162 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128
162 East 88th Street is a 5-story, 20-unit old law tenement building located in Manhattan's Upper East Side, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Ermir Aliaz. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, with the most pressing current concern being an open HPD complaint from April 2025 regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions.
Notable problems have included multiple instances of pest infestations (most recently documented in 2023), heating system issues in October 2024 where HPD could not gain access for inspection, and appliance-related problems including refrigerator faults. The building has undergone several inspections revealing various maintenance needs, particularly focusing on Apartment 3, which in 2024 was found to have multiple violations including water leakage, mold, and mouse infestation. There are also ongoing violations noted from a June 2024 inspection requiring repairs to plaster surfaces, painting, and various water-related issues.
Recent building inspections provide a mixed picture of conditions, with rat activity documented in 2022 and 2023, though more recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 have shown improvements with "Passed" results. The property has a building violation from August 2023 regarding damaged bricks on the corner of exposures 1 and 4, with an associated penalty of $625 that remains active. While bedbug reports show no infestations or treatments in recent years, the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and building upkeep.
