69-10 Yellowstone Blvd, Queens, NY 11375

The 6-story, 156-unit residential building at 69-10 Yellowstone Blvd in Forest Hills, owned by Adony Alarcon and constructed in 1942, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in 2025, there were multiple complaints about utility systems, including non-lighting issues and cooking gas problems in April, and an electric/gas range issue in March, all of which HPD inspectors were unable to properly investigate due to access issues. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with emergency complaints in 2019, 2022, and 2024, though inspections often encountered access issues.

A notable incident in December 2021 involved one reported bedbug infestation, though subsequent annual reports from 2022-2024 indicate no further infestations. The property has some documented infrastructure concerns, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations related to self-closing doors and door-related mechanisms in early 2023, particularly affecting the compactor closet, building entrance, and roof bulkhead doors. There has been one reported incident of chemical vapors/odors in January 2024, and one instance of unsanitary pigeon conditions was investigated in September 2023, though no violations were found. The building's elevator system has been monitored, with a 2020 violation related to door lock monitoring that carried a $1,250 penalty, which was resolved.

Recent inspections have shown compliance with rodent management requirements, passing inspections as of October 2023, and there have been no reported pest issues in the past three years. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with access during inspections, making it difficult for authorities to verify and address reported issues. While some problems have been resolved promptly, such as heating restorations confirmed by tenants, the frequency of utility-related complaints and inspection access issues indicate persistent maintenance challenges. The property's record shows regular permit activity between 2018-2020, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, though specific details about the nature of these permits are not provided in the available data.
