231 East 88th Street is a five-story, 10-unit Old Law Tenement building located in the Upper East Side, owned by Steven Casillano and built in 1920. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025, including active complaints about mold and ceiling conditions that were previously cited for violations.
The property has a documented history of plumbing-related problems, with multiple complaints regarding illegal/no permit plumbing work between 2023 and 2025, though no violations were found during inspections in several cases. Indoor air quality and hygiene issues have been persistent, with recurring reports of sewage odors in 2023-2024 and a recent sewage leak complaint in May 2025, which was closed without violations.
The building has faced rodent control challenges, with documented rat activity in 2023 and 2024, though recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance with rodent control measures. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past six years, recent complaints about water leaks (2023) and various air quality concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent building permits from 2020 were issued for unspecified work, though the current state of these improvements is not documented in the available records.
