107 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

107 East 88th Street is a 5-story, 28-unit Old Law Tenement building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Zoji Paco. The building has experienced recurring issues with wall and ceiling maintenance, with multiple paint/plaster complaints filed between February 2024 and June 2024, all of which were closed without violations. Earlier maintenance issues included pest control concerns in 2023, though these were also resolved without violations.

The building underwent significant violations in April 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 1B, including missing carbon monoxide detectors, defective wood floors, and absent smoke detectors, though these were certified as corrected by late April 2024. Recent activity in 2025 has raised some concerns, with an active complaint regarding improper vent/exhaust installation and multiple closed complaints about work without proper permits and debris issues. Notably, there is an active ECB violation from February 2024 regarding the exterior rear and side facade walls, documenting various disrepair conditions including cracks, holes, and spalling bricks, with a penalty imposed.

The building maintains a clean bedbug record for the past several years, with no reported infestations since at least 2019. Rodent inspections conducted annually from 2016 to 2025 have consistently passed. While there have been multiple maintenance issues documented, the majority have been resolved without violations being issued, and the building has complied with most regulatory requirements, including the annual bedbug reporting and rodent inspection protocols. Recent 311 calls and Department of Buildings complaints have primarily been for non-emergency issues, and many were dismissed upon inspection.
