132-45 88th Street, Queens, NY 11417

132-45 88th Street is a 2-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1977 and currently owned by Lawrence Bernstein. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant being structural concerns. In April 2023, a Class C violation was issued regarding a structural crack in the north and south walls extending between the basement and first story in the public hall, measuring approximately 0.5 cm.

The Department of Buildings received complaints in May 2023 about building shaking and structural stability concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts. Additionally, there are outstanding violations related to the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022. The building has faced recurring pest and maintenance issues, including two simultaneous complaints in July 2022 regarding water leaks (heavy flow) and unsanitary conditions (pests), though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these complaints.

The property has had multiple bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings for 2023-2025 showing no current infestations (0 infested dwelling units), following a single instance in 2020-2021 where one unit was affected but all six units were successfully treated. The building has a history of bedbug monitoring compliance, with violations issued in 2022 and 2023 regarding annual bedbug report filings, though recent filings indicate the situation has been managed effectively. The property has maintained a closed status for most previous violations, suggesting compliance with most requirements, though the recent structural concerns and outstanding inspection violations remain notable issues as of October 2023.
