88-27 Ransom Street, Queens, NY 11427

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 88-27 Ransom Street in Bellerose, owned by Gloria Vlahos, was constructed in 1970 and is currently classified as a converted Class A multiple dwelling. The building's record indicates several significant safety and maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging from a December 2023 inspection that revealed multiple open violations related to safety signage and emergency procedures. These include missing postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information; however, one violation regarding the heating system key holder notice was subsequently resolved in January 2024.

While there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint in November 2019, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the issue. The building's documented history shows a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding bedbug reporting, with multiple violations noted between 2022 and 2024. However, recent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 indicate no current infestations or re-infestation concerns.

The property has seen improvements in bedbug management in recent years, with zero reported cases in the latest two reporting periods. A recent Department of Buildings permit was issued in October 2023 for electrical work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and updates to the building's systems. While the building has historically faced various compliance issues, recent filings indicate more consistent reporting, though with ongoing open violations primarily related to safety signage and emergency procedures.
