76-66 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11375
The 98-unit, 6-story building at 76-66 Austin Street in Forest Hills, owned by Louise Galante, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, most notably concerning heat and water systems. Between January and February 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water disruption affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with some cases being temporary resolved by the time inspectors arrived. The building has also faced ongoing plumbing challenges, particularly with toilet issues as evidenced by complaints filed in September 2024 and May 2024.
Security and access concerns were highlighted in 2024 and 2025, with violations issued regarding door and window maintenance, particularly affecting Apartment 2K. The property has received several Building Department violations, including a 2019 issue regarding exterior maintenance of the facade, with spalling limestone and deteriorating bricks noted on the north facade. An elevator violation from 2017 was dismissed in 2021, and the building underwent multiple tenant safety inspections in 2022, all resulting in no violations being found.
Significantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the annual inspections from 2020 through 2024, and a passed rodent inspection in 2017 following a failed inspection in 2016. The building was constructed in 1931 and has undergone various renovations and maintenance work, as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2019 and 2020. While the property has experienced numerous maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, the pattern of complaints suggests some degree of recurring infrastructure challenges, particularly during the winter months when heating systems appear most vulnerable.
