65-19 79th Street, Queens, NY 11379

The two-family house at 65-19 79th Street in Middle Village, owned by John Amore, has experienced several maintenance and sanitation issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, recorded between March and May of that year, with two of these complaints remaining open until April 2021.

During this period, there was also an incident involving heat and hot water issues in March 2020, which was resolved shortly after the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's response. A rodent-related complaint was filed in May 2020, which resulted in an inspection that found minor violations, though subsequent rodent inspections in August 2020 showed the property passed.

More recently, a complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in May 2024, though access was denied during the inspection attempts in January 2025, resulting in an unresolved status. The building, constructed in 1920, is two stories tall and contains two units, with its most significant recorded issues revolving around waste management and sanitation problems in 2020. While some of these issues were addressed and closed out, the recent illegal conversion complaint and inspection access denial in 2025 may warrant attention.
