132-14 87th Street, Queens, NY 11417

The three-unit, three-story building at 132-14 87th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Teresa Rodriguez, has a history of maintenance and compliance issues spanning several years. Most notably, there are recurring open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The building has also experienced several access issues for inspections, particularly in response to complaints about illegal conversions and fence issues, with multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access despite multiple attempts.

The property has a documented history of building code concerns, including three specific illegal conversion complaints filed between 2020-2022 (including one from 2022 that was marked as "work without permit"), and fence-related complaints in 2021 and 2022. An environmental violation regarding an improperly high gate installation was noted and resolved in 2021. A concerning pattern emerges from the inspection records, with access denial being a consistent barrier to verifying compliance with various complaints.

However, more recent activity includes the issuance of a permit in September 2023, suggesting some level of ongoing maintenance or improvements to the property. This three-story, 1920s-era building exhibits ongoing concerns related to maintenance compliance, with particularly notable issues surrounding pest control reporting requirements and access-related inspection challenges. The most recent permit issuance in September 2023 indicates that some level of active property management is occurring, though the persistence of certain violations remaining open as of 2024 is notable.
