103-25 68th Avenue, Queens, NY 11375

The 6-story, 107-unit building at 103-25 68th Avenue in Forest Hills, owned by Paul Hobot and constructed in 1953, has experienced several notable maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most concerning are the recurring ventilation problems, with two recent indoor air quality complaints in 2025 (March and June) that prompted the Department of Health to notify management. In 2023, the building faced various maintenance challenges, including multiple plumbing and electrical issues (with two separate toilet problems, lighting failures, and appliance concerns), though some inspections were unable to gain access for verification.

A significant mold complaint was reported and closed in April 2023. The building has undergone several improvements and repairs, as evidenced by the March 2023 inspection of Apartment 6G, which resulted in multiple violations being issued and subsequently certified as corrected by June 2023. These included issues with bathroom fixtures, walls, and ceiling surfaces.

Three equipment-related violations were issued in June 2023 concerning the building's lobby area: an illegal double cylinder lock, missing outlet covers, and a door self-closing mechanism issue, though these were also certified as corrected by July 2023. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero cases reported in the past eight filing periods from 2019 through 2025. Finally, there is currently an active violation related to the failure to file a required benchmarking report of energy use, first issued in May 2023 and noted as dismissed in September 2023, though it's unclear if this was paid or otherwise resolved.
