110-07 73rd Road, Queens, NY 11375

The 6-story, 79-unit residential building at 110-07 73rd Road in Forest Hills, managed by Wakefield Owners Corp, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, particularly between 2021-2022. The building faced heat and hot water problems in January 2022, though inspectors could not gain access to verify the conditions. Apartment 5E received multiple violations in January 2022 requiring repairs to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as painting of window sills.

The building's safety systems were under scrutiny with various Department of Buildings (DOB) violations, including missed External Low Pressure Inspection submissions in 2023, and elevator problems identified in 2019 related to uncorrected defects from a 2017 inspection, though these violations were later dismissed upon correction. Recent bed bug reporting shows generally low incidence, with only one infested unit reported in the 2021-2022 period, and none reported in the subsequent three years. The building maintained 100% compliance with the bed bug eradication requirements following all reported incidents. Historical violations from 2019 included several administrative requirements regarding building signage and documentation, which were subsequently corrected.

The property has experienced various maintenance issues over the past five years, including four DOB violations and two HPD complaints related to heat/hot water and paint/plaster issues in 2022, though most violations have been resolved or dismissed following corrective actions. The building's management has shown responsiveness to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the prompt certification of violations from 2022, including the replacement of the smoke detector and carbon monoxide device in Apartment 5E, and the painting of window sills. The elevator maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to safety systems, with violations being addressed even though some required multiple instances to achieve resolution. The building's maintenance history shows regular challenges typical of older New York City residential buildings, with particular attention needed to ensure timely compliance with safety inspections and maintenance requirements.
