87-87 116th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The 24-unit, 4-story building at 87-87 116th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Engelbert Koenig, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in December 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification.

The property has had multiple urgent and non-urgent violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including issues with flooring, plumbing, wall conditions, and pest infestations in 2021-2022. Recent building condition concerns have emerged in 2024, including facade problems with step cracks and bulging, particularly noted between the 3rd and 4th floors, leading to multiple violations and the need for an emergency facade repair order.

There are also active ECB violations regarding cracked windows and facade maintenance. While the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations in recent reporting periods (2021-2025), there are several open violations from 2022 related to self-closing doors and various maintenance issues that require attention. Despite the numerous violations and complaints over the years, including unsanitary conditions and multiple repair needs, the building has generally received proper inspection follow-up, though some violations noted in 2022 remain formally open as of the latest available data.
