111-22 66th Avenue, Queens, NY 11375

The 3-story, 96-unit residential building at 111-22 66th Avenue in Forest Hills, owned by Belal Mohd and constructed in 1949, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, which was promptly resolved by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Other notable recent issues include a bee/wasp infestation reported in July 2024, and multiple complaints in 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions and cooking gas concerns, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these latter complaints.

The building has a history of water-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints in December 2020 (both slow leak and heavy flow), and plumbing issues in June 2023 involving water supply. The building's maintenance record reveals recurring problems with pests, as evidenced by complaints in 2020 and 2024, though the most recent bedbug reports filed in December 2024 for the 2023-2024 period show zero infested units. While several violations were issued in March 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, these appear to have been resolved.

The most recent rodent inspection conducted in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade. It's worth noting that the HPD has conducted inspections in response to various complaints, typically finding no violations or being unable to gain access for inspection. The building's management has addressed some emergency situations promptly, as evidenced by the quick resolution of the January 2025 heat issue.
