61-01 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, four-unit building at 61-01 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Frank Reina and built in 1931, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past three years. Most significantly, there was a cluster of pest-related complaints in late 2022, with three separate reports filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system on November 25, 2022, regarding unsanitary conditions.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, no violations were issued in two cases, and one inspection was unable to gain access to the affected areas. Prior to these pest issues, in September 2021, there was a sewage leak complaint investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no health code violations or hazards were found.

On a more positive note, the building has demonstrated effective pest management over the past two years, with no bedbug infestations reported in the official Bedbug Reporting system from 2022 to the present, despite regular annual filings showing zero infested units. Additionally, a rodent inspection conducted in July 2021 resulted in a passing grade. The property's recent history shows improved maintenance compliance, with no major violations or health concerns reported in the past two years, though the clusters of complaints in late 2022 suggest there may have been some challenges with pest control during that period.
