64-40 68th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit building at 64-40 68th Avenue in Glendale, owned by Dragisa Vasilijic, has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems, particularly in the winter months. Most notably, there were three heat and hot water complaints in early 2023 (February 1 and February 4), one of which was reported as affecting the entire building, while another only impacted an individual apartment.

These follows similar complaints from November 2022, indicating a pattern of heating system reliability challenges. The building also has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including two serious Class B violations from September 2021 in Apartment 2L regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and multiple administrative Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements.

Recent inspections from early 2023 revealed additional concerns in Apartment 1L, including problems with a self-closing door and visible mold in the bathroom, though these are currently under investigation or resolution. The building's history shows previous maintenance issues in June 2019 involving plumbing, water leaks, and wall conditions, though no violations were issued at that time. The property, built in 1930 and classified as a "New Law Tenement," clearly requires attention to both its heating system and various safety features, including the need for updated safety equipment and maintenance of building systems.
