88-15 133rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The two-story, six-unit building at 88-15 133rd Avenue in Ozone Park, currently owned by Balsam Village 1 LLC, has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most significantly, there was a heat and hot water issue reported in February 2023, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development could not verify due to lack of access to the apartments. The building has also faced compliance issues, with violations issued for failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, though the 2022 violation was later dismissed in October 2023.

The property has a mixed history of bedbug management, with reports filed annually between 2019 and 2025. The most recent filings show no infestations recorded between late 2023 and 2025, and the previous period (2022-2023) also reported zero infestations. A single infestation was reported in 2020, affecting one unit, and prior to that, two units were affected in 2018.

The building has had two previous bedbug violations related to annual reporting requirements in 2022 and 2024, though the 2024 violation status is not clearly indicated in the records. The building's record suggests ongoing attention is needed to maintain compliance with inspection requirements and to ensure timely reporting of any maintenance issues. While the recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of that particular issue, the history shows it has been a recurring concern. The heat and hot water complaint in 2023, though not verified, highlights the importance of access for inspections to address tenant concerns.
