85-06 67th Road, Queens, NY 11374

This two-family house at 85-06 67th Road in Rego Park, built in 1952 and currently owned by Monir Hossain, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2024. Most notably, between June and October 2024, there were multiple service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints involving unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing issues (basin/sink), and appliance problems (refrigerator, electric/gas range), with inspectors unable to gain access for evaluation in all cases.

The building's documented history shows recurring maintenance challenges, with 2023 violations in Apartment 1 including mold issues, water heater problems, leaky faucets, and a pest infestation, though these were certified as corrected between August and December 2023. The property has faced scrutiny regarding potential illegal use, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints between 2022-2024 concerning suspected illegal conversions and short-term rentals.

In June 2023, the building received four Environmental Control Board violations related to illegal occupancy and failure to maintain required safety systems for transient use on the second floor, including inadequate sprinklers, egress routes, and fire alarm systems, resulting in penalties totaling $10,500. While three of these violations were subsequently resolved, records from 2024 indicate continuing concerns about access for inspections and compliance verification. The building's maintenance record also includes a mix of plumbing, electrical, and general safety issues requiring attention, suggesting ongoing challenges with property upkeep and code compliance.
