111-05 66th Avenue, Queens, NY 11375

The three-story, 138-unit building at 111-05 66th Avenue in Forest Hills, built in 1949 and currently owned by Belal Mohd, has experienced several concerning issues over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to mold, with at least one violation issued.

The building has ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by open violations from September 2024 requiring repairs to water leak issues, fire escape access, and balcony maintenance. Significant plumbing and gas safety concerns emerged in April 2024, with three active Environmental Control Board violations related to improper gas piping installation and appliance safety in apartment 3A, each carrying a penalty of $6,250. Between late 2024 and 2025, there have been numerous complaints about various maintenance issues, including water leaks, wall damage, and gas-related problems, though many inspections have been marked as incomplete or resulted in no violations.

The building's condition has shown some variability, with rodent inspections in 2024 indicating initial rat activity in May but passing compliance in August 2024. Encouragingly, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past several inspection periods (November 2023 - October 2024). While some issues have been addressed through inspections and service requests, several violations remain unresolved, particularly those related to water damage, wall maintenance, and balcony safety.
