87-16 Park Lane South, Queens, NY 11421

87-16 Park Lane South is a 3-story, 9-unit residential building located in Woodhaven and owned by Charles Reina. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, most recently evidenced by an emergency complaint in January 2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building.

This followed a similar heating issue in 2018, though in that instance, HPD was unable to access the apartments for inspection. The property has also faced notable safety compliance issues, particularly in October 2018 when multiple violations were documented during an inspection.

These violations involved failure to maintain proper safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, and the posting of required tenant information, though all these violations were subsequently certified as closed by December 2018. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reports of bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 through 2024, during which all reported unit counts for infestation, eradication, and re-infestation were consistently listed as zero. While the recent heating issues are concerning, the absence of pest-related problems and the resolution of historical safety violations suggest some stabilization in building conditions, though the recurring nature of the heating system problems warrants attention.
