63-36 Woodhaven Boulevard, Queens, NY 11374

The two-story, three-unit building at 63-36 Woodhaven Boulevard in Middle Village, owned by Marvin Azrak, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there is an active violation from February 2024 regarding broken glass windows at the storefront entrance, with a penalty of $3,125, and a similar violation from November 2022 with an identical penalty that remains unpaid. The building underwent multiple safety inspections in July 2024, revealing various concerns including heat/hot water issues, sewage problems, and multiple building safety systems requiring attention (smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and window guards).

Some violations were subsequently closed, including defective safety systems in apartment 2F, but others remain open, such as problems with electrical wiring, a defective vestibule door, and an unstable roof access ladder. More recent concerns include a pest-related service request from January 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect, and multiple sewage-related complaints throughout 2024. The building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, as evidenced by multiple Failure to Maintain complaints, and there were periods of rodent activity documented in 2014. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2024), and the building is currently up to date with bedbug reporting requirements showing zero infested units.

The property has had multiple compliance checks and inspections, with various complaints being either substantiated or resulting in no violations, indicating ongoing monitoring by city agencies. Previous complaints include reports of unpermitted work in 2021, a certificate of occupancy issue in 2019, and several building maintenance violations, including a 2022 sidewalk shed issue. The 2025 service request for unsanitary conditions and previous flooding-related complaints indicate recurring infrastructure problems. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in 2024 when multiple simultaneous complaints were filed and inspected, suggesting a period of concentrated building system failures and code violations that require ongoing attention.
