88-48 85th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 88-48 85th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Leonardo Siragusa, has maintained relatively stable conditions over the past several years since its construction in 1930. However, there are notable recent concerns that merit attention. Most significantly, in early 2025, there was a flooring issue reported to HPD that could not be inspected due to lack of access, with the current status being closed pending re-inspection.

The building has experienced recurring electrical issues, particularly evident in 2019 and 2020 when multiple reports of "no lighting" were filed, though these were all resolved without violations. Unsanitary conditions have also been a recurring theme, with complaints about pests in 2020 (considered an emergency) and garbage/recycling storage problems in 2020, both of which were addressed by HPD inspections. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent filing in April 2024 showing no infested units during the 2022-2023 period, and previous filings in 2023 and 2021 showing similar results.

Historical records from 2011 indicated some rodent issues with failed inspections for rat activity in mid-2011, though these appear to have been resolved by later inspections that year. The building has received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2021-2023 related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though these were marked as closed once the filings were submitted. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older wood-frame structures, the absence of repeated violations or unresolved complaints suggests that most concerns have been addressed through proper channels.
