108-48 70th Road, Queens, NY 11375

The 13-story residential building at 108-48 70th Road in Forest Hills, owned by Steven Yedvarb, has experienced recurring heating system issues, with the most recent incident occurring in May 2025 involving a temporary loss of heat and hot water that was reportedly resolved upon inspection. This followed a pattern of similar heat and hot water problems documented between January and February 2021, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges.

The building, constructed in 1964 and containing 127 units, underwent several significant maintenance events in April 2019, when multiple violations were issued related to electrical systems (lighting), mold, wall conditions, and door issues, though the specific nature and resolution of these violations are not detailed in the available data. An inspection of unit 5B revealed various maintenance requirements, including issues with walls and ceilings, plumbing fixtures, smoke detectors, and the need for mold abatement, all of which were addressed and certified as corrected by mid-2019. The building's elevator system has required attention, with a 2019 violation noting failure to correct defects from a 2017 inspection, though this was ultimately dismissed in March 2021.

Recent records from 2024 and 2023 show no reported bedbug infestations, indicating successful pest management, and a 2012 rodent inspection resulted in a passing grade. The property has maintained regular permit activity through 2018-2021 for various unspecified work, with no recent violations or complaints related to heat or hot water systems since the May 2025 incident, though this may not fully represent the current condition of building systems. Three open housing maintenance code violations from 2019 remain active as of the latest available data, related to posting requirements for building management information in public areas.
