68-38 Yellowstone Blvd, Queens, NY 11375

68-38 Yellowstone Blvd is a 6-story, 108-unit residential building constructed in 1941, currently owned by Jason Brecher. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2023-2025, with multiple complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) indicating either inadequate heating or hot water supply, though in several cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported conditions. In 2024, the building faced additional challenges including mold issues (April 2024) and various maintenance problems such as concerns with compactor closet doors and ceiling plaster in Apartment A64.

Currently, there are three active violations related to the building's exterior façade maintenance requirements under Local Law 11/98, with a failure to submit a required report and unsafe conditions noted. The building has maintained a relatively good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years, and successful eradication noted in previous instances. While there have been some issues with the building's infrastructure, including elevator concerns and maintenance violations, many of these have been addressed promptly, as indicated by their subsequent closure.

The property has undergone regular inspections as required, including facade inspections (most recently in 2024), though there are active violations related to the submission of required cycle reports. Historical records show periodic rodent inspections, with one failure noted in 2016, though recent inspections have passed. The building appears to be under active management with regular permit issuance for maintenance and repairs, as evidenced by multiple work permits issued between 2019 and 2023. (Note: This report summarizes significant issues based on available data, but cannot capture every detail of the building's history or current conditions.)
