Located at 166-05 88th Avenue in Jamaica, this 6-story New Law Tenement building, constructed in 1926 and containing 53 units, is currently owned by Jairaj Sobhraj. The property has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2024, with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions including pests and mold. Notably, in late 2024, Apartment 6D was cited for multiple violations including defective smoke detectors, a faulty carbon monoxide detector, water supply issues, and evidence of roach and mouse infestations.

The building has undergone several inspection periods for rodent and pest management from 2013 to 2024, with most recent inspections showing serious concerns about vermin presence. Earlier records show infrastructure and safety issues including a boiler room concern in 2022 involving safety equipment and maintenance problems, and previous complaints about exterior facade maintenance. The building has also seen multiple plumbing and maintenance complaints throughout 2024, with housing maintenance code violations being consistently addressed though not always successfully resolved on first inspection.

Historical data indicates the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, showing no documented infestations. The property has had three significant violations related to fire safety and pest control in late 2024, including non-functional self-closing doors in public areas and evidence of pest infestations. The Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board records indicate various violations and repairs needed over time, with most being addressed and closed, though some recent issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges such as defective doors, smoke detectors, and plumbing fixtures.
