71-26 66th Road, Queens, NY 11379

The three-story residential building at 71-26 66th Road in Middle Village, owned by David Mann and constructed in 2003, has experienced several notable incidents throughout its history, with the most significant cluster of issues occurring in early 2019. During this period, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to multiple complaints within the span of just a few days, issuing violations related to mold (with two separate complaints), electrical outlet/switch problems, a water leak, and intercom issues.

An emergency complaint regarding heat/hot water in an individual apartment was also filed during this time, though no violations were issued for that specific issue. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple open violations recorded in April 2019, including requirements to properly display building registration information, maintain electrical outlet covers, and provide a completed certificate of inspection visits near the mailboxes.

A specific issue with a water leak affecting the kitchen ceiling in Apartment 1 was documented and required proper repair and remediation. The Department of Buildings also recorded a complaint about an alleged illegal conversion in February 2019, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record with regard to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five reporting periods from November 2019 through October 2023, and the most recent report filed in December 2023 confirms zero infested or eradicated units.
