65-18 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 65-18 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Rose Bosco and built in 1899, has experienced recurring heating and maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2021 and early 2021, including an open violation from January 2021 regarding excessively scalding hot water (exceeding 130 degrees) in the second-floor apartment.

Additionally, in October 2019, there were complaints about mold and slow water leaks, though access for inspection was not granted in this case. More recently, significant compliance issues have emerged regarding boiler maintenance.

As of September 2024, there are active violations related to the failure to file required annual boiler inspection reports for the low-pressure boiler, with a penalty of $655 imposed. The Building Department has issued multiple active violations (between April 2023 and September 2024) for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2023, indicating a pattern of neglect regarding boiler maintenance requirements that could potentially affect resident safety and comfort. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly related to heating systems, it's worth noting that the owner has generally addressed complaints when inspections were conducted, though several violations currently remain active without resolution as of the latest available data in 2025.
