67-38 108th Street, Queens, NY 11375

67-38 108th Street in Forest Hills is a 6-story, 204-unit Class A apartment building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Leslie Siegel. The building has experienced recurring water-related issues, with two water leak complaints in late 2024 (one involving a slow leak) that resulted in violations, and a damp spot issue. There have also been significant maintenance concerns regarding heat and hot water availability, with emergency complaints in 2024 and 2023 about lack of these essential services affecting the entire building, though inspections found that heat was not required at the time.

The building has a documented history of rodent issues, with reports in 2024 (both rat and mouse sightings), though a rodent inspection in June 2024 passed. A drinking water-related complaint in 2019 was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, but no violations were found. The building has undergone facade work that resulted in several Department of Buildings complaints and violations, including issues with suspended scaffolding in 2018 and 2024 that led to penalties totaling $7,500, though these were ultimately resolved.

An open violation from December 2024 remains for broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in Apartment D26. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations for the past several years, with only two units reported as infested in 2019, which were subsequently treated (though they appear as eradicated in subsequent reports). The property has generally maintained compliance with housing codes, though there were violations related to water supply and plumbing in 2020, and there was an emergency plumbing complaint that was resolved swiftly. Regular bedbug reporting has consistently shown zero infestation or re-infestation cases since 2019, indicating effective pest management practices.
