74-48 65th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 74-48 65th Street in Glendale, owned by Krzysztof Flusniak and built in 1910, is currently experiencing multiple significant maintenance issues that collectively raise concerns about resident comfort and safety. In May 2024, eight separate complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), all on the same day (May 16), covering a wide range of problems including heat/hot water issues, electrical lighting problems, plumbing concerns (affecting sinks, bathtubs/showers), door/windown defects, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and the presence of mold.

Notably, the heat/hot water complaint was marked as an emergency situation, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect any of the reported conditions, leading to the complaints being closed with the recommendation to file new complaints if the issues persisted. All these complaints were subsequently processed through the Housing Maintenance Code system, with most being categorized as emergency situations.

The combination of issues reported suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly regarding basic amenity systems such as heating, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure, as well as concerns related to sanitation (mold) and building envelope maintenance (doors/windows, ceilings). While the HPD responded to each complaint and opened investigations, the inability to gain access to inspect the reported conditions has hindered resolution efforts, with the department noting that the complaints could be reopened if conditions persisted.
