55-02 68th Street, Queens, NY 11378

The 2-family house at 55-02 68th Street in Maspeth, built in 1930 and currently owned by Melida Moreta, has experienced persistent heating and water supply issues over the past seven years.

The most recent incidents occurred in May 2021, involving both plumbing and building-wide heat/hot water complaints, though no violations were found during the HPD's inspection of the water supply issue, while they were unable to access the building to verify the heating problem. The building has a documented pattern of heat and hot water complaints during the winter months, with multiple incidents reported from December 2018 through January 2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

Most of these complaints, including emergencies categorized as heat/hot water issues, were resolved relatively quickly, often within a few days, with some requiring verification of corrections by HPD. While the building has maintained an active response to these emergency complaints, the recurring nature of the heat and water supply issues suggests this remains an ongoing concern for residents, with particular attention needed during colder months.
