72-72 61st Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 72-72 61st Street in Glendale, owned by Dave Pargan, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, warranting particular attention to its infrastructure systems. Most recently, in November 2024, there were two separate heat/hot water complaints requiring HPD intervention, resulting in violations being issued to the property owner.

The building has a concerning history of electrical issues, with three separate complaints about non-lighting conditions filed between October 2022 and October 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification in some cases. Heating system problems have also been documented, including a December 2022 incident that was verified as corrected within three days. The building has two active violations related to boiler inspections, specifically for failing to file the 2017 and 2018 external low-pressure inspection reports, issued in November 2019 and June 2023 respectively.

A general cooking gas complaint was filed in December 2022, though HPD couldn't gain access to inspect the reported conditions. While there were no bedbug incidents reported during the 2022-2023 period, and an inspection for an illegal curb cut/driveway in May 2022 found no violations warranting action. Given the pattern of repeated heat/hot water and electrical issues, along with the active violations regarding boiler inspections, the building's systems appear to require ongoing attention to maintain habitability standards.
