50-19 66th Street, Queens, NY 11377

The three-unit residential building at 50-19 66th Street in Maspeth, currently owned by Jacky Sze, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, serious structural concerns were documented regarding the third-story balcony, with violations stating the slab was cracked and displaced (approximately 10 inches) and in danger of further collapse, resulting in a partial vacate order affecting the second and third floors.

The building has experienced recurrent heating issues, with no heat or hot water complaints logged both in April 2025 and January 2024, though in both instances, tenants reported that the services were restored before inspection. Multiple water-related issues have been reported, including plumbing problems, water supply concerns, and various leak complaints throughout 2024, some labeled as emergencies. The building's maintenance record reveals persistent sanitary concerns, including multiple mold and pest complaints, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) often unable to complete inspections due to access issues.

Several violations have been documented regarding common area maintenance, including defective window frames, encumbrances in public hallways, and security gate concerns. While some violations have been closed, particularly those from 2022 regarding pest infestations in a third-floor apartment, others remain active or were classified as "no violation warranted" during inspections. The building's systems and maintenance history suggest ongoing challenges with basic services and infrastructure, particularly affecting the upper floors.
