87-15 65th Drive, Queens, NY 11374

The two-family house at 87-15 65th Drive in Rego Park, owned by John Liu, is a two-story building constructed in 1950. The property has experienced a series of maintenance issues in late 2021, most notably in October and November, when multiple complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems in the second-story apartment.

These complaints ranged from lack of heat and hot water to violations regarding excessively hot water (147°F) reported in one inspection, which exceeded the maximum allowable temperature of 130°F. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations during their November 4, 2021 inspection related to inadequate heat supply and high water temperature, as well as several other issues including a need for repair and uniform painting of plastered surfaces, and addressing peeling paint in the third room.

In addition to the heating and hot water issues, there was also a plumbing complaint regarding a basin/sink in November 2021, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions. All these complaints have since been closed, but as of the latest available data, there are currently open violations related to heating, hot water temperature, and various painting and plaster repair deficiencies in the second-story apartment. The building's maintenance history suggests that while many issues were temporarily addressed, some violations remain active, indicating ongoing maintenance concerns that should be monitored.
