87-07 87th Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

87-07 87th Avenue is a 3-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Nadim El-rowmeim. The property has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly in December 2021 when there was an apparent heat and hot water crisis affecting multiple units and the entire building, resulting in multiple emergency complaints to HPD.

Tenants filed complaints between December 9-20, 2021, with several complaints marked as duplicates of each other, though some inspections were attempted or conducted. The building currently has multiple open violations, including three consecutive years (2022-2024) of failing to file the annual bedbug report as required under Housing Maintenance Code Section A, and several violations from December 2021 that remain unresolved, including issues with fire door self-closing mechanisms, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, heating system access notice, and inspection certificate postings.

More recent issues include an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2022 external low-pressure inspection. The building is also documented as having undergone some permitted work in October 2019, though the specifics of the work are not detailed in the available records. The combination of ongoing regulatory violations, particularly related to safety systems and heat maintenance, suggests persistent challenges in building maintenance and compliance with housing regulations.
