110-21 73rd Road, Queens, NY 11375

The 71-unit, 6-story residential building at 110-21 73rd Road in Forest Hills, owned by Harry Frenkel and constructed in 1937, has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system failures affecting either the entire building or individual apartments, with incidents recorded in February 2024, April 2023, and October 2024, though these issues were typically resolved quickly.

Water-related problems have also been a persistent concern, including several complaints about leaks in 2024 (May), and 2022 (January), with violations issued in 2022 for slow leaks. The building has experienced some concerning safety-related incidents, including complaints about building vibrations in July 2021, though access for inspection was denied, and a lack of proper pedestrian protection during facade work in June 2024. The property has recorded various housing maintenance code violations that are primarily located in apartment 6D, including mold, plaster, and water leak issues identified in March 2022, though some violations have been resolved.

Facade maintenance has been a recurring theme, with work performed under a 2020 permit including balcony/terrace repair, new railings, and restoration work. The building appears to have maintained a generally pest-free environment in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing no infestations, and a passed rodent inspection in October 2016. While many previous complaints and violations have been resolved, there remains at least one open violation from March 2022 regarding ceiling and wall conditions in apartment 6D, and issues related to building access during inspections which have prevented thorough investigations of some complaints.
