329 East 88th Street, Manhattan, NY 10128

The five-story, 11-unit old-law tenement at 329 East 88th Street, owned by Luigj Bunjaj and constructed in 1910, has experienced several notable events affecting resident comfort and building maintenance over recent years. A heat and hot water emergency complaint was filed in December 2020, though inspections by both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code found no violations.

The building is most recently in compliance with rodent inspections, having passed all recent inspections between 2024 and 2023, though it did experience one instance of rat activity in early 2022 that required multiple bait applications in the following months. A significant maintenance issue occurred in July 2018 involving inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures in apartment 2W, though this violation appears to have been resolved. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2018 through 2024 showing zero infested or re-infested units in all annual filings.

The property has undergone some permitted work in July 2018, with both plumbing and electrical permits issued. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, particularly in 2022-2020, it has demonstrated effort to address violations, though residents should remain aware of historical patterns of heat and rodent-related concerns. The absence of recent bedbug incidents and the successful completion of rodent remediation efforts suggest improved pest management practices.
