58-48 78th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit building at 58-48 78th Avenue in Glendale, owned by Harry Pollak and constructed in 2008, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. The building has documented plumbing issues, including an unresolved sink problem in September 2021 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. Other notable incidents include a heat and hot water outage in February 2020 that was resolved during the inspection, and an unsanitary condition complaint citing pests in January 2020 that resulted in violations.

The property has undergone multiple bedbug-related inspections between 2018 and 2024, with unresolved violations regarding proper notice posting and bedbug infestation procedures, though more recent filings from 2022-2025 show zero infested units. A rodent sighting was reported and investigated in April 2021, resulting in a passing inspection. The building's violation history reveals significant maintenance concerns, particularly in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded for Apartment 3, including loose window frames, defective plaster surfaces, and a broken window in the public hall.

There are also open violations from January 2020 requiring proper GAS LEAK PROCEDURE notices in common areas. The property has demonstrated some improvement in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the last two annual reports (2023-2024 and 2024-2025), and passed rodent inspections. However, the historical pattern of maintenance issues, particularly involving pests and plumbing, indicates periodic challenges with building upkeep and tenant comfort.
