74-25 62nd Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit building at 74-25 62nd Street in Glendale, owned by Entela Turkeshi and constructed in 1910, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a building-wide heating and hot water emergency reported through 311, following a pattern of similar complaints in both late 2022 and early 2023.

Between December 2022 and early 2023, there were multiple heat/hot water complaints, with both apartment-specific and building-wide issues reported. These service requests often resulted in HPD being unable to gain access to the premises for inspection. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, including a significant water leak emergency in late 2022.

A violation from February 2023 indicated inadequate lighting at the front entranceway, and multiple violations were recorded related to the first-floor apartment's kitchen conditions, including heating issues and plaster surface problems. The property has undergone two inspections regarding potential illegal conversions (in July 2022 and January 2023), but in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last three inspection periods from 2020 through 2024, with the most recent filing in May 2024 showing zero infested units.
