74-36 64th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 74-36 64th Place in Glendale, owned by Lubica Radakovic, has undergone several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing occurring in December 2023. The building experienced a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire structure, which prompted investigations by both HPD (Housing Preservation and Development) and the Housing Maintenance Code.

During the December 2023 inspections, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 1R, including the absence of carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, for which B-class violations were issued. Additionally, there were C-class violations identified, including issues with self-closing doors both at the building entrance and within Apartment 1R, and a problem with a door wedge preventing proper closure at the public hall entrance.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to bedbug management, with the owner filing regular annual reports from 2019 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infestation incidents during all reported periods. Back in April 2021, there was one A-class violation related to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though the current filings show compliance with this regulation. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, recent inspections as of December 2023 suggest a need for improved safety equipment installation and general maintenance, particularly regarding door functionality and emergency safety systems.
