64-02 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The property at 64-02 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale is a two-story, two-family house built in 1931, currently owned by Dong Guo and containing 4 units. The building has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, most notably four complaints filed in November 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions (including pest problems and garbage/recycling storage issues) and heating/hot water concerns, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being issued.

These complaints, while closed, suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges. Looking back to 2019, there were significant incidents including complaints about a defective/inoperative boiler and an illegal conversion, with the latter resulting in an Oath Violation being served.

An Environmental Control Board violation was also filed in February 2019 for unauthorized construction work involving a wood frame enclosure with plastic sheets, for which a penalty of $1,250 was imposed. While some of these issues have been resolved, they indicate a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges that have persisted over several years, culminating in a cluster of recent complaints in late 2023.
