63-80 Wetherole Street, Queens, NY 11374

63-80 Wetherole Street is a 42-unit, 6-story residential building located in Rego Park, constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Michael Candan. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with seven documented complaints between late 2020 and December 2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, though most were resolved promptly with system restoration confirmations.

The most recent significant issue was reported in April 2023, involving a water leak and damp spot in apartment 7E, which remains under a class B violation status as of May 2023, along with several other open class C violations from the same inspection regarding fire safety concerns related to basement doors. These violations include issues with self-closing doors in the laundry room and two missing fire-resistant doors leading to the public hall from the basement. The building has maintained an active record of bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with no reported infestations in any unit during the most recent two-year reporting period (2023-2025).

An outstanding elevator maintenance issue remains from 2019, with a documented violation for failing to correct defects identified in the 2017 CAT 1 inspection/test. Prior violations from 2021 included concerns about construction materials in public areas and an abandoned refrigerator in the basement, both of which were subsequently resolved. The building has a relatively comprehensive history of maintenance record keeping, with no recurring pest issues and regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
