107-19 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11375

107-19 70th Avenue is a 6-story, 67-unit residential building built in 1938 and currently owned by Queensbrook Bldg Corp. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems in early 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, though these were generally resolved quickly with system restoration. More recently, in March 2025, the building filed multiple plumbing complaints regarding toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, which were investigated by HPD but did not result in any violations.

The building has several open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including issues with a compactor closet door latch assembly and various maintenance concerns in apartment 605, such as flooring, bathroom plumbing, and pest infestation issues. Other notable recent complaints include concerns about parking structure maintenance (active penalty of $12,500 as of October 2024) and a failure to submit required reports under Local Law 188/17. The building's history shows recurring infrastructure challenges, including an active ECB violation regarding parking structure maintenance and historical issues with the elevator system.

There have been multiple complaints about building egress, with some inspections unable to gain access. While there was one instance of bedbug infestation reported in 2019, recent bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show zero infestations. The property has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, though there have been occasional failures that indicate ongoing pest management challenges. The building's most recent maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and open violations, with the property management needing to address both current heating/plumbing issues and the November 2024 violations for comprehensive building maintenance compliance.
