74-34 64th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit building at 74-34 64th Place in Glendale, owned by Elmadije Suma, has several significant maintenance issues that require attention. Most concerning is a recent mold problem reported in July 2024, for which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development issued violations.

The building has multiple open violations from a December 2024 inspection, including required safety notices about carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures that have not been properly posted, as well as safety equipment issues in first-floor apartment 1F (defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector). Apartment 1F has been the focus of several violations regarding unauthorized alterations, including an acoustic suspended ceiling, and water leak problems affecting multiple walls in the bathroom, though some of these issues were marked as closed in October 2024.

The building's maintenance history shows ongoing compliance issues, including multiple active violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, and an unresolved violation regarding building conditions from March 2022 related to cement stucco spalling. Historical records show no recent bedbug or rodent infestations, with the most recent rodent compliance inspection passing in 2010. While there have been no documented insect infestation issues in recent years (with bedbug reports showing zero affected units since 2019), the building has faced consistent challenges with maintenance compliance and safety equipment requirements, particularly affecting the most recently inspected 1F unit.
