67-30 Dartmouth Street, Queens, NY 11375

The 126-unit, 6-story building at 67-30 Dartmouth Street in Forest Hills, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Mark Levine, has experienced several notable maintenance and operational issues over recent years. The most concerning recent incident involves a bedbug infestation reported in December 2024, though previous years (2022-2023) showed no such issues, with only one unit affected in 2024 and successfully treated. The building has faced persistent water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks between 2021 and 2022, including slow and heavy flow leaks, damp spots, and plumbing issues affecting various fixtures.

In June 2022, significant housing maintenance code violations were documented in apartment 5K, including defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in multiple rooms, though these were subsequently addressed. Historical issues include a series of elevator-related concerns, with violations recorded in 2018-2020 regarding mechanical components and lighting. The building's elevator system was the subject of multiple complaints, including multiple devices on property and inadequate service.

In 2020, two Environmental Control Board violations were issued for failure to comply with commissioner orders related to elevator maintenance, resulting in penalties totaling $2,500. There have been various 311 service requests between 2021-2022 regarding plumbing, painting, and flooring issues, some of which were not able to be inspected due to access issues. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with periodic inspections showing variable infestation levels, including one incident in 2020 with 2 affected units and 14 treated units. A sidewalk shed complaint was filed and inspected in March 2025, though no violations were found at that time.
