74-53 64th Lane, Queens, NY 11385

The property at 74-53 64th Lane in Glendale is a 2-family house built in 1920 and currently owned by Maohe Dong. Most notably, the building has experienced significant issues regarding pest control, with multiple rodent-related complaints between 2022 and 2023, including several rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents. While health inspections were conducted in response to these complaints, the property generally passed with only minor violations noted.

Additionally, there was a serious incident in 2022 when the building suffered fire damage, resulting in violations due to structural non-compliance, including observed damage to the interior, missing second-floor windows, and roof exposure to the elements. The building was declared vacant and unguarded multiple times in late 2022-2023, though inspections during this period typically found no violations or resulted in Oath Violations being served. The property has also experienced some water-related issues, evidenced by a heavy flow water leak complaint in 2021, though this was closed without violations.

Inspections in 2023 continued to show some concerns, with complaints about building conditions occurring throughout the year, including a construction enforcement work order. While many complaints have been closed without violations, particularly in relation to the vacant building status, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing challenges with both maintenance and pest control. The most recent building inspections as of 2023 have generally not found serious violations, indicating some level of remediation has occurred, though the history of complaints and the nature of the fire damage suggest significant attention to maintenance and safety systems would be required.
