86-24 80th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building at 86-24 80th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Jacky Philibert and constructed in 1931, is currently facing several maintenance challenges as of June 2024. There are multiple open Class A violations primarily affecting apartments 2L and 1F, including defective caulking and glaze issues in bathroom tubs, kitchen cabinet problems, electrical outlet concerns, and water-related maintenance needs.

The building has a documented history of plumbing issues, with three separate emergency complaints regarding bathtub/shower problems in December 2018, and multiple maintenance requests related to plumbing, electrical, and various other systems throughout 2018. An August 2018 inspection revealed problems with the floor, pests, and multiple other systems, though no violations were ultimately issued at that time. The most recent building inspection on June 7, 2024, highlighted several actionable maintenance issues in both 1F and 2L apartments, including concerns about bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, electrical systems, and various surfaces requiring repair or replacement.

While the building passed a rodent inspection in March 2016, the current open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has a historical pattern of plumbing-related complaints, though it's worth noting that all previous HPD inspections between 2018 and now have resulted in no violations being issued. The repeated nature of the 2018 complaints, while not resulting in violations, along with current open violations, indicates potential infrastructure and maintenance concerns that may affect resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding water fixtures and bathroom facilities.
