Questions about this building

Does 88-40 161 Street, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 88-40 161 Street, Queens had 48 open violations on September 27, 2026: 47 from HPD and 1 from OATH/ECB. 22 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 11 years, since March 18, 2015.

Is 88-40 161 Street, Queens getting better or worse?

New violations are coming in faster than certifications are filed. 11 new Class C against 0 certifications filed in the last 180 days. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

Does 88-40 161 Street, Queens have active DOB violations?

Yes. 24 active DOB violations, most of them for the annual elevator inspection. The newest was issued February 22, 2022. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has DOB received complaints about 88-40 161 Street, Queens?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed August 9, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 88-40 161 Street, Queens marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 4, 2025, awarded for $200. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.

What did the latest facade report find at 88-40 161 Street, Queens?

No Report Filed for inspection cycle 9. Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.

Is 88-40 161 Street, Queens covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered since 2024 (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

When was 88-40 161 Street, Queens built?

The city's record gives 2006 as the year 88-40 161 Street, Queens was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 10 floors.

How many apartments does 88-40 161 Street, Queens have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 80 residential units at 88-40 161 Street, Queens. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
