132-39 88th Street, Queens, NY 11417

At 132-39 88th Street in Ozone Park, this two-story, 6-unit building constructed in 1977 has experienced some notable issues in recent years, particularly regarding gas service. In May 2023, two emergency complaints were filed regarding cooking gas problems, resulting in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with one complaint being a duplicate of another tenant's report about building-wide conditions. These gas-related issues were accompanied by a violation in County § 27-2070 for inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures specifically in apartment 2A.

The building has also had some maintenance concerns, including a May 2023 violation regarding self-closing doors and hinge adjustments needed in apartment 2A. More recently, as of June 2023, there is an active Department of Buildings violation for failure to file the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection, while a similar violation from April 2023 was dismissed by September 2023. The building's history shows relatively consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations recorded in any of the annual reports filed between 2018 and 2025, including the most recent filing in June 2025 showing zero infested units.

Earlier issues included a power outage incident in April 2019, which did not result in any violations. The property has had various violations and complaints over the years, but the recent pattern shows particular attention is needed to address gas service reliability and building inspection compliance. The building's management has regularly filed required bedbug reports, maintaining a record of zero infestations since at least 2018, suggesting proactive pest management practices.
