The two-story, six-unit building at 89-03 133rd Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Lawrence Bernstein, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple incidents of electrical problems, particularly around lighting, with the most recent complaints filed in May 2025 resulting in violations.

Plumbing issues have also been a persistent concern, with complaints about bathtubs/showers and toilets recorded in 2024-2025. The building has faced various other maintenance challenges, including problems with doors/windows, paint/plaster conditions on ceilings and walls, and a pest infestation (documented in July 2024). There are several open violations that require attention, including water leak issues in Apartment 1A bathroom, defective doors in Apartment 1A, and various administrative code violations related to building maintenance requirements such as proper signage, heating system access, and carbon monoxide detector requirements.

Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over the past several years, with no reported infestations in any unit since 2019. The property, built in 1977 and classified as a Class A building, has a documented history of engaging with housing oversight agencies, with many complaints resulting in inspections and violations requiring correction.
