65-09 99th Street, Queens, NY 11374

The 130-unit, 6-story residential building at 65-09 99th Street in Rego Park, owned by Margaret Brunn and constructed in 1946, has experienced several persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heating and hot water system problems throughout 2025, with multiple complaints about inadequate service affecting either individual apartments or the entire building. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns about water-related issues, including a heavy water leak in May 2025 and multiple plumbing complaints filed in June 2025.

The building also faces structural and maintenance challenges, with open violations from December 2024 regarding leaks, fire safety materials, and door latches in the 6th story public hall, as well as issues with basement parking facilities showing severe cracking. Recent inspections and violations indicate more serious structural concerns, particularly with the parking structure, which was noted for having running cracks in beams, girders, slabs, and walls in June 2023. There are several active violations related to failure to maintain building safety and structural integrity, including the need for appropriate parking structure observations and gas line corrections.

The building has undergone multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections in 2025, with varying degrees of access issues preventing thorough inspections of heating systems and other facilities. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations since 2021 and recent rodent inspections in 2025 have passed, the pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and systems reliability. The property also shows multiple open Department of Buildings violations from 2023 and 2025 regarding failure to certify corrections on hazardous conditions and various safety requirements, indicating potential issues with timely maintenance responses.
