85-25 60th Road, Queens, NY 11379

The three-story, nine-unit residential building at 85-25 60th Road in Elmhurst, owned by Purbai Choudhury and constructed in 1988, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the past year. Most recently, in December 2024, two separate violations were recorded regarding defective self-closing doors, one in the entrance to apartment 1B and another in the cellar entrance, both of which were subsequently closed after repairs.

October 2024 inspections revealed multiple administrative code violations related to safety postings in the public hall, including requirements for gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and various building information postings. These violations were all closed following remediation. A more serious safety issue emerged in December 2024 when it was found that the kitchen countertop area next to the sink lacked proper GFCI electrical protection, resulting in a $1,200 Environmental Control Board violation that has since been resolved.

The building's recent history shows a recurring pattern of electrical system concerns, with two complaints filed in late 2024 regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring, though one was closed due to inability to gain access for inspection. In terms of pest control, the building has maintained a clean record with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five inspection periods from 2020 to 2024, and it passed a rodent inspection in April 2017. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues requiring corrections, particularly during 2024, these violations have generally been addressed and closed upon certification of repairs.
