65-61 Saunders Street, Queens, NY 11374
65-61 Saunders Street is an 8-story, 178-unit residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Jacob Weinreb. The property has experienced multiple heating and maintenance issues in early 2025, with several heat/hot water complaints between January and February 2025, and more recent complaints in June 2025 regarding paint/plaster and flooring conditions, all resulting in violations. The building underwent serious structural concerns in 2024, particularly with the parking garage and basement levels, where multiple violations were issued for concrete deterioration and exposed rebar, with inspections showing significant foundation wall issues.
There were also violations related to fire safety doors in the 8th-story public hall and various apartment maintenance issues, including problems with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and pest control. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with multiple violations related to facade maintenance and safety systems. There were two noted periods of bedbug infestations (2021-2022 and 2023-2024), though recent reports indicate only one unit affected in 2024.
While building management has addressed many violations, several active violations remain, particularly concerning the parking structure. The property has undergone various renovations and repairs over the years, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019-2022, though some work has been completed under scrutiny due to building safety concerns. The building's elevator system has also been a recurring focus of inspection and complaint activity, including multiple elevator-related complaints between 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time.
