65-02 80th Street, Queens, NY 11379

The two-family house at 65-02 80th Street in Middle Village, owned by Margarita Martinez, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, particularly between October and November 2024. The building has faced multiple EMERGENCY situations including three separate instances of heat/hot water problems affecting individual apartments, three power outage incidents, and one water supply issue - all of which required urgent attention from HPD and the Department of Buildings.

Of particular note, there were violations issued in November 2024 related to the heat/hot water system. The building has a documented history of moisture-related concerns, with mold complaints filed in both October 2024 and June 2021, though no violations were found in the 2024 inspection. The property has a pattern of compliance issues that dates back several years, with multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions (2024 and 2021), plumbing work without proper permits (2024), and violations related to certificate of occupancy matters (2018-2019).

In most cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions during their visits, suggesting potential difficulties with unit access for inspections. All complaints have been officially closed, but the frequency and variety of issues, particularly recent heating and electrical problems, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in this 1925-built structure. The building's two-family classification suggests it was originally designed for two separate living units, though historical complaints about illegal conversions raise questions about its current configuration.
