68-36 Yellowstone Blvd, Queens, NY 11375

68-36 Yellowstone Blvd is a 115-unit, 6-story class A apartment building in Forest Hills, built in 1941 and currently owned by Charles Alpert. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat/hot water in 2024-2025, including two open complaints as of May 2025. A significant safety concern was addressed in 2024 when window guards were found to be missing/defective in apartment A52, though this violation was closed after certification of repairs.

The building has recently faced unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage, with three open complaints from May-June 2025. The property has a history of maintenance issues documented in housing violations, including a 2024 inspection revealing missing smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment A52, with subsequent repairs certified. Apartment B63 had multiple violations related to water leaks and paint conditions in early 2024, all of which were subsequently addressed. Building-wide inspections in 2021-2023 showed compliance with rodent control standards, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years.

Recent major work has focused on façade maintenance, with multiple permits issued between 2021-2024. However, there were several violations related to construction safety in 2024 concerning scaffold and sidewalk shed conditions, resulting in fines totaling $12,650. The building currently has three active violations related to Cycle 9 FISP filings and facade safety as of 2025. While there have been multiple complaints and violations over the years, most have been properly addressed through repairs or have been closed following inspections, though some recent heating system and garbage storage issues remain outstanding.
