71-28 66th Road, Queens, NY 11379

The three-unit building at 71-28 66th Road in Middle Village, owned by David Mann, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024. Most concerning are multiple water-related complaints, including two heavy flow water leak incidents and a plumbing issue with a basin/sink in spring 2024, all of which were classified as emergency situations but could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building has also faced heating problems, with emergency heat/hot water complaints filed in December 2022 and January 2023, the latter resulting in violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Apartment 3 has been identified as having specific open violations regarding self-closing doors, window guards, inadequate heat supply, and a pest infestation (roaches) as of January 2023.

Additional maintenance concerns include a cooking gas complaint and another heavy flow water leak incident in March-April 2024, both of which were classified as emergency situations. The building has maintained a regular bedbug reporting history from 2019 through 2023, consistently reporting zero infested units, and the property passed a rodent inspection in July 2023. While the building was constructed in 2003, these recent maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and prompt response to tenant complaints, particularly regarding access for inspections and repairs.
