85-13 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 85-13 88th Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Henry Wu, is a 2-story structure dating back to 1901. The building has experienced recurring issues over recent years, with a particular cluster of complaints regarding heat and hot water services between late 2020 and early 2021, including multiple instances where tenants reported problems but inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

These issues appear to have stabilized, though several service requests related to heating systems were logged, including a November 2021 complaint that resulted in no violations. More recent complaints from March 2022 indicate problems with plumbing (basin/sink), unsanitary conditions (mold), and paint/plaster issues (cabinet), though access for inspection was not granted, leading to the closure of these complaints with a note recommending re-filing if conditions persisted. As of the last available records, there are two open violations from December 2021 concerning apartment 2NDFLO: one regarding a mouse infestation and another related to a defective carbon monoxide detector.

The building has also experienced electrical issues, with two complaints in January 2021 regarding power outages and lighting problems; while one of these was inspected and resolved, the other complaint could not be verified due to lack of access during inspection. A September 2022 complaint about defective or exposed electrical wiring was investigated but resulted in no violations being found. The history of service requests shows a pattern of maintenance access issues, with several complaints being closed without proper inspection due to lack of access, notably for heat/hot water and various other maintenance concerns.
