102-25 67th Road, Queens, NY 11375

102-25 67th Road is a 6-story, 144-unit residential building in Forest Hills, constructed in 1952 and currently owned by Claudine Gruen. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with documented complaints in February 2022, March 2022, and most recently in January and February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Additional concerns include water leaks (October 2022) and unsanitary conditions related to pests (September and February 2022), though the most recent pest reports from 2023-2024 show zero infested units.

The property has active Department of Buildings violations from 2021 for failing to perform required Category 5 inspections and from 2024 regarding benchmarking report submission. Elevator maintenance has been a persistent issue, with active ECB violations from 2018-2020 related to equipment malfunction and required tests, and recent code violations from July 2024 concerning self-closing doors and latch mechanisms in the first-story public hall. The building's management has maintained bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filings showing no current infestations, though there was one instance of three infested units in 2021-2022 which were reportedly eradicated.

The property has also been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and emergency service requests, particularly regarding heat and hot water service. Recent inspections in 2024 resulted in both open and closed violations, including the requirement to repair or replace defective compactor closet doors. While many historical issues have been addressed, the recurring nature of heating system problems and current violations related to elevator safety and building systems maintenance suggest ongoing challenges with property infrastructure and systems reliability.
