9-05 166th Street, Queens, NY 11357

The 32-unit, 8-story residential building at 9-05 166th Street in Whitestone, owned by Stanley Greenberg, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, particularly concerning its elevator system and façade. Most recently, in July 2023, the building received an "LL11 Unsafe" notification regarding its façade under the city's Local Law 11 requirements.

The elevator system has been a recurring concern, with two separate incidents in 2020 and 2021 leading to Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations - one involving an oil leak and various safety issues including an inoperative fire service button and a missing escape hatch chain (2021), and another concerning the absence of mandatory door lock monitoring (2020), for which a $1250 penalty was imposed. These elevator-related violations appear to have been resolved, as indicated by their "resolved" status, though there is an active DOB violation from September 2020 regarding failure to certify corrections on an immediately hazardous violation. The building has undergone recent inspections in 2025 related to sidewalk shed issues and compliance tracking, with no violations found in either case.

Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported incidents of bedbugs in any of the annual reporting periods from 2017 through 2024, showing consistent eradication and prevention efforts. In addition to these issues, there was one report of a "Cycle 9C Unsafe" violation filed in February 2024, though this was subsequently dismissed. While the building has faced several safety and maintenance challenges, particularly with its elevator system, the resolution of most violations and the absence of pest issues in recent years suggests ongoing management oversight.
