88-10 178th Street, Queens, NY 11432
88-10 178th Street is a 6-story, 139-unit apartment building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by Bruce Rubel. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2025, with ten separate complaints logged between January and May, all of which were categorized as emergencies and subsequently closed, often with the condition reportedly restored before inspections could be completed. The building has maintained a consistent history of bedbug management, with eight annual reports showing infestation and eradication in various units between 2018 and 2024.
Recent maintenance concerns have focused on self-closing door compliance, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations documented between 2022 and 2024 regarding doors in the basement and 6th story compactor areas, though these were all marked as resolved. The building's environmental control history reveals several significant issues from 2020-2021, including problems with exterior facade maintenance, rusted lintels, and other structural concerns that resulted in fines totaling $5,000. Currently, there is an active violation regarding failure to file a required critical report (FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report) as of February 2024.
Recent pest management records show rat activity in early 2025, though previous inspections in 2021, 2015, and 2014 had passed without issues. The property has undergone various permit issuances between 2019-2021 for general maintenance work, including exterior and plumbing-related jobs. The building's service history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, with recent complaints showing no heat or hot water as the primary recurring issue affecting resident comfort.
