87-05 166th Street, Queens, NY 11432
The 52-unit, 6-story building at 87-05 166th Street in Jamaica Hills, owned by Joshua Frankel, has experienced recurring heat and water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water problems between February and March 2025, including both apartment-specific and building-wide complaints. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including violations related to paint/plaster issues, plumbing problems, and water leaks that required HPD inspections and correction.
Notable violations include a 2020 mold issue in Apartment 2D's bathroom, and multiple open violations from 2018-2023 in Apartment 6G concerning window guards, window balances, and a defective smoke detector. The property has a documented history of elevator concerns, with complaints registered in 2023 and 2025 regarding single-device service and no alternate service, though inspections found no warrant for violations.
The building's exterior maintenance has prompted several fines for failure to submit required FISP Cycle 8B reports (2018-2021), and there is currently an active violation regarding energy efficiency score display requirements. While the building has reported no bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), a rodent inspection in 2019 failed for unspecified reasons. The property management has generally addressed violations and complaints when required to do so, with most recent complaints showing a pattern of proper government agency involvement and resolution, though some conditions remain regarding the 2018 window and smoke detector issues in Apartment 6G and the 2020 mold situation in Apartment 2D.
