74-06 62nd Street, Queens, NY 11385

74-06 62nd Street is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Glendale, built in 1931 and currently owned by Josephine Weingarter. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues over the past two years, with multiple complaints recorded between March 2023 and August 2024.

The most recent complaints in 2024 reported conditions attracting rodents and rat sightings, though inspections in June 2023 and July 2023 showed no violations or rat activity. The building has passed several rodent inspections in 2023 and 2020, but there was documented rat activity in March 2023 and a failed inspection for undisclosed reasons in November 2019. Additionally, the building has open violations related to bedbug reporting for multiple years (2021-2024), indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's requirement to file annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While the property currently has no active building code violations and has passed recent rodent inspections, the recurring rodent complaints and unresolved bedbug reporting violations over the past several years suggest ongoing pest management challenges. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has been involved in multiple investigations, with most service requests being closed due to earlier complaints or following inspections, which have generally resulted in the building passing inspection with no violations found.
