86-50 77th Street, Queens, NY 11421
86-50 77th Street is a 6-story, 59-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Eric Margules. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with six documented complaints between 2022 and 2025, most recently in January 2025 and December 2024, though in each case, HPD verified that conditions were corrected. More recent concerns include multiple plumbing issues, including a significant plumbing emergency in October 2024, and various maintenance problems such as electrical and door repairs in May 2024.
One notable incident occurred in October 2024 in apartment 1F, where serious violations were documented including lead paint hazards, mold, and pest-related issues, though these have since been closed. The building has also faced regulatory compliance challenges, particularly in relation to energy efficiency reporting. Multiple violations remain active regarding failure to submit required Energy Efficiency Reports (EER) and benchmarking reports between 2019 and 2024.
There was a significant inspection of the building in February 2023 concerning illegal conversions, though no violations were found. Despite these various issues, there have been no reported infestations of bedbugs in the last four annual reporting periods from 2020 to 2024, indicating effective pest management procedures in place. The Department of Buildings records show a pattern of non-emergency maintenance issues being addressed through both 311 complaints and housing maintenance code violations, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain building systems despite periodic failures.
