148-25 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435
The Ambassador Apartments, located at 148-25 88th Avenue in Jamaica, is a 6-story, 78-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1927, currently owned by Sal Radoncic. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints filed in 2023-2025, including two emergency complaints in early 2025 that were either not verified upon inspection or led to violation notices.
The property has also faced challenges with building maintenance, particularly regarding fire safety equipment, as evidenced by violations issued in June 2024 for defective fire escape components and blocked egress paths. A Bedbug report from December 2024 indicated the presence of bedbugs in two units, with one experiencing re-infestation, though this was an improvement from previous years when 2-3 units were often affected between 2018-2021. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of violations related to building structure and safety systems, including multiple citations for fire escape obstruction, defective doors, and wall maintenance issues between 2018-2024.
The property has undergone several permit approvals for emergency work (EW) between 2018-2020, and while there have been some periods of good inspection results, such as rodent inspections passing in 2014, 2013, and 2010, the building has faced ongoing compliance challenges. Recent complaints suggest continuing concerns with basic services and safety systems, including elevator service issues reported in 2022 and 2025, though inspections found no violations at those times. The building's overall record indicates persistent challenges with basic services, fire safety systems, and occasional pest control issues, with the most significant recent concerns centered around heating systems and bedbug infestations.
