88-19 193rd Street, Queens, NY 11423

The 35-unit, 6-story residential building at 88-19 193rd Street in Hollis, owned by 88-19 193rd Street Realty LLC, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three complaints about these services in 2025 alone, specifically in April 2025, though inspections confirmed the services had been restored. The building has a significant open violation as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection, and previously had a boiler room-related violation from April 2022 regarding improper storage and chimney sealing, which was resolved without penalty.

Prior to these issues, the building faced pest-related concerns, with a reported unsanitary condition complaint in late 2021 and a mosquito infestation complaint in 2018-2020, though no violations were issued in response to these reports. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained an impressive record of bedbug management, with zero reported infestations across all units in the annual filings from 2018 through 2024.

The property, built in 1933 and classified as HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A, has undergone periodic inspections and response actions by various city agencies, primarily focusing on heating system irregularities and environmental concerns. While the recent heating issues are concerning, it's worth noting that the building has consistently met bedbug extermination standards and has had relatively few major violations in recent years.
