66-10 Thornton Place, Queens, NY 11374

66-10 Thornton Place is a 6-story, 94-unit residential building constructed in 1963 in Rego Park, currently owned by Michelle Abubo. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 indicating both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, most recently in May 2025, with at least one complaint currently remaining open. The building has active elevator-related complaints as of 2025, noting issues with multiple devices and lack of alternate service.

There are current open violations in apartment 3G from December 2024 regarding non-functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as self-closing door issues. Apartment 4G also had multiple open violations identified in June 2023, including missing safety detectors, maintenance issues, and a reported rodent infestation. The building's maintenance history shows improvements through inspections, though violations have persisted.

Between 2018-2020, several violations were documented regarding failure to maintain facade safety measures and building maintenance requirements, with penalties issued against the ownership for various infractions related to facade repairs, including a $25,000 penalty for safety-related violations in 2019. The building underwent facade repair work and associated violations between 2018 and 2020, with permits issued and subsequently resolved penalties. While there have been numerous service requests and violations over the years, the building has maintained a zero reporting record for bedbug infestations in all annual filings since 2018, and most non-heat related complaints have been addressed through inspections and resolutions. The persistence of heating system issues and current elevator complaints suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges, while the relatively recent violations regarding safety detectors in multiple apartments (3G and 4G) indicate potential concerns with routine maintenance and safety system upkeep.
