90-19 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The 127-unit, 4-story residential building at 90-19 88th Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Barry Rudofsky, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in individual apartments between January and March 2025. More recently, in May 2025, there has been an ongoing investigation into smoking violations in smoke-free areas that began in early 2025.

The building has an active heating system that continues to present challenges, with several emergency heat/hot water complaints filed and subsequently addressed through HPD inspections. The property, built in 1930, has shown persistent pest management challenges, including documented rodent infestations in 2018-2020 and multiple bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2024, though all affected units were reported as eradicated. A significant cluster of violations was noted in apartment C14 in late 2024, including issues with window mechanisms, water leaks, door self-closing mechanisms, and missing safety devices, though many of these have since been certified as corrected.

The building's smoke-free policy has been violated multiple times in recent years, with complaints filed in late 2024 and 2025. There is also an active illegal conversion complaint from October 2024 that remains under investigation. The property has undergone various emergency and non-emergency repairs and inspections throughout 2024-2025, with some violations classified as "Open" status, indicating they remain unresolved as of the latest data available.
