144-06 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

144-06 88th Avenue is a four-story, 31-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Jairaj Sobhraj. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly in recent years, including two separate incidents of pest infestations (most recently in January 2025) and mold problems (October 2024) where HPD inspections were unable to be completed.

Apartment B2 has faced multiple violations, including significant mold and pest infestation issues in May 2024, as well as problems with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in March 2023, though some of these were later resolved. The building underwent several appliance-related complaints and inspections in 2024, including issues with refrigerators and electric/gas ranges, though no violations were found in those cases. The property has an established history of rodent-related challenges, with inspection records showing varying compliance results between 2010 and 2018, including two "Rat Activity" findings in late 2013.

Recent safety concerns were addressed in 2024 regarding the public hall's marble treads and vestibule door security, while two open violations from June 2024 relate to broken marble treads in the first-story public hall. Notably, the building has maintained a pest-free record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and a Department of Buildings permit for work was issued in March 2019. Recent HPD inspections have shown both successful and unsuccessful attempts to address various maintenance issues, with some violations remaining open as of the latest available data.
