64-74 Saunders Street, Queens, NY 11374

The 6-story, 42-unit apartment building at 64-74 Saunders Street in Rego Park, owned by Eduard Pinkhasov and constructed in 1950, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there is an active ECB violation from 2024 for failure to submit a required parking structure observation report (penalty: $2,530) and another active violation regarding illegal gas dryer installations in the laundry room (penalty: $2,500).

The building has also faced recurring issues with administrative compliance and safety systems, including immediate emergency violations in 2021 related to sprinkler systems and multiple citations for failing to maintain proper documentation for bedbug reporting requirements. Inspection records show numerous 311 complaints between 2021-2022, including issues with doors/windows, water leaks, safety systems, and unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas.

While many of these complaints were resolved without violations being issued, there were some notable exceptions, such as the September 2021 violation regarding an intercom system that affected apartment 6B. The building has maintained a zero-reporting record for bedbug infestations since at least 2019 according to the HPD bedbug reporting system, and though there were rodent inspection failures noted in 2016, subsequent inspections show compliance. Recent violation activity suggests ongoing challenges with both immediate safety requirements and broader building maintenance compliance, particularly regarding energy efficiency reporting and the proper installation of building systems.
