The tenement at 88 Second Avenue was built in 1903-04 to designs by Michael Bernstein, who sometimes worked with his brother as Bernstein & Bernstein. He was a prolific tenement architect, and the Department of Buildings accused him of filing 53 false plans in the weeks before the Tenement House Act of 1901 took effect in April of that year. On Second Avenue he also designed the buildings at nos. 60 and 104.
