175-05 87th Drive, Queens, NY 11432

175-05 87th Drive in Jamaica Estates is a 72-unit, 6-story Class A apartment building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Herbert Donner. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed in April 2025 regarding both apartment-specific and entire-building heat and hot water problems.

Additionally, there have been persistent pest control issues, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints regarding pests filed in both February and April 2025 resulting in violations. The building's infrastructure has faced several challenges, including a water leak incident in February 2025 and previous maintenance issues documented through Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, such as heavy flow water leaks, ceiling damage, and cabinet concerns. The building's elevator systems have been a significant concern, with multiple complaints about single device operation and no alternate service between 2021-2025, though inspections typically found no violations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2020-2021 indicate various elevator-related issues, including improper wiring, fusing problems, and missing fireman service. The property underwent inspections in 2022 that revealed maintenance issues requiring attention, including self-closing door problems in common areas and a history of heating system violations affecting multiple apartments. While the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program showing zero infestations in recent years, a rodent inspection from 2012 resulted in a failed inspection for "Other Reasons." The most recent housing code violations from late 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, requiring attention to ensure compliance with housing standards.
