87-32 Pitkin Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

This two-story, six-unit residential building at 87-32 Pitkin Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Victoria Goberdhan, was constructed in 1977 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues throughout its history. The most significant recent problems occurred in December 2020, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water outages, though these issues were reportedly resolved according to HPD responses.

In December 2020, the building was found to have multiple violations requiring attention, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3A, a defective fire egress iron ladder to the roof scuttle opening, and a visible mold condition in a bathroom window frame. Mandatory bedbug reporting from 2020 through 2025 shows consistent compliance with no reported infestations or eradications during any of the annual reporting periods. The building has maintained generally good rodent inspection results, with a compliance pass for the December 2014 inspection, though it did fail an initial inspection in November 2014 for unspecified reasons.

More recent inspections revealed two bedbug-related violations in 2022 and 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were closed within a reasonable timeframe. There was also a complaint about an illegal conversion in November 2021, but this was marked as no access on the second attempt to inspect in February 2022. The building's maintenance record shows periodic issues with various safety systems, particularly in late 2020, when multiple violations were issued concerning life safety equipment that were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected in January 2021.
