87-12 Grand Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

87-12 Grand Avenue is a 6-story, 20-unit residential building constructed in 1986, currently owned by Eroll Morris. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent problems occurring in 2024 involving plumbing issues with a basin/sink, which was resolved with no violations found.

In late 2023, there were multiple complaints about pest infestations and garbage/recycling storage, though some of these complaints could not be inspected due to lack of access. The building's systems faced notable challenges in October 2021, including reports of no heat or hot water, power outages, and various plumbing issues, though most of these problems were addressed relatively quickly with no violations found. The building has a concerning history of elevator service issues, with multiple complaints between 2020 and 2023 regarding the single-device elevator and lack of alternate service during outages.

Several violations remain active regarding building maintenance requirements, including failure to file benchmarking reports and low-pressure inspection documentation. There was a bedbug infestation reported in one unit between November 2022 and October 2023, though subsequent reports from 2023-2025 indicate no further infestations. While the building has had various maintenance issues over the years, many have been addressed promptly by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though some ongoing violations related to building documentation requirements remain unresolved as of July 2025.
