65-74 Saunders Street, Queens, NY 11374
The 60-unit, 6-story building at 65-74 Saunders Street in Rego Park, owned by Stephen Wallach and constructed in 1939, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are two recent unsanitary pest-related complaints in early 2025, where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced recurring heating issues, with complaints about inadequate heat and hot water in both December 2024 (apartment-specific) and January 2024 (entire building), though these issues were reportedly resolved upon follow-up.
Other significant maintenance concerns include a Notice of Violation for ceiling paint/plaster issues issued in September 2024, an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors in February 2025, and multiple rodent-related inspections in early 2024 showing varying levels of rodent activity, though a compliance inspection in July 2024 passed. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues. There are currently multiple open violations from a September 2024 inspection of apartment 2B, including problems with plastered surfaces, paint uniformity, and window casing repairs.
Historical data shows two instances of bedbug infestations (in 2018-2019 and 2021-2022) while more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 indicate no current infestations. The building also had two significant Category 5 violations related to inspections that were dismissed in 2023, specifically for failure to perform required inspections. Separate inspections of various systems and features, including elevators and smoke detectors, have resulted in both closed and open violations, indicating ongoing maintenance needs. The most recent permits related to the building were issued in 2018.
