88-12 161st Street, Queens, NY 11432
88-12 161st Street is a 3-story, 5-unit New Law tenement building in Jamaica, Queens, owned by 26th Street Holding LLC and constructed in 1935. The building has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions, particularly mold, with multiple HPD complaints and emergency responses in 2019 and 2021.
A significant cluster of violations occurred in 2021 involving an infestation of mice in apartment 2R and defects in self-closing doors and fire escape access. The building has also faced challenges with maintenance compliance, including multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, and various ECB violations for failure to comply with commissioner's orders between 2019-2021 regarding unauthorized work and occupancy issues. Recent inspections from 2023 revealed open violations for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections for 2018-2021, though these violations were ultimately dismissed in March 2024.
The building has a documented history of rodent inspections dating back to 2010, with mixed results - while the most recent inspection in 2019 passed, a 2019-01 inspection failed for unspecified reasons. Previous violations from 2019 indicated problems with plastered surfaces and paint in multiple rooms of apartment 2R, covering areas in the bathroom, kitchen, and various rooms. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of delayed compliance with inspection requirements and repeated complaints about unsanitary conditions, particularly during 2019 and 2021.
