74-42 62nd Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 74-42 62nd Street in Glendale, owned by Jacinta Capelo, was constructed in 1910 and is currently classified as a converted Class A building. The property has experienced several notable issues in recent years, most concerning being a heat and hot water complaint filed in November 2024, which remained unresolved due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to access the apartment for inspection. This complaint was classified as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with no reported infestations or required treatments since 2020, it should be noted that the building has received four separate Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations. These violations, while classified as "A" (serious), were subsequently closed, suggesting the building owner eventually complied with the reporting requirements. The property history shows consistent attention to maintenance issues, though the most recent heat and hot water complaint raises concerns about the current state of building systems.

The landlord's response to the heat complaint closure notice and the building's age suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges. The bedbug reporting irregularities, which were particularly notable between 2021 and 2024, indicate a period of administrative oversight regarding pest management compliance, though recent filings in 2023-2024 show correct reporting with no infestations. The building's two-story configuration and three-unit layout suggest a modest size with shared facilities, typical for its age and neighborhood context.
