88-25 Merrick Boulevard, Queens, NY 11432

The six-story residential building at 88-25 Merrick Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Michael Partridge, was constructed in 1940 and contains 54 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past years, with the most recent complaints occurring in 2023 regarding an electric/gas range and toilet problems, both of which were resolved without violations. A safety-related smoke detector issue was also reported in late 2022-2023.

The building has a notable history of elevator system problems, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2020 regarding single device service and lack of proper door lock monitoring, resulting in active ECB violations with substantial penalties. In 2018, there were concerning issues documented in apartment 6C, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), a broken carbon monoxide detector, and various maintenance problems including window damage, bathroom tile issues, and defective smoke detector. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent report (2024-2025) showing no current infestations, following a period in 2022-2023 when there was one reported case that was eradicated.

A comprehensive review of the building's history shows periodic issues with maintenance compliance, including several instances of failing to file required energy benchmarking reports, though these violations were ultimately dismissed. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent in 2025 showing both passed and rat activity results, indicating ongoing pest management challenges. While many of the historical complaints have been resolved, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance and safety monitoring will be required.
