71-17 Fresh Pond Road, Queens, NY 11385

This three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 71-17 Fresh Pond Road in Glendale, owned by Bradley Narain and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, the building faced multiple housing maintenance complaints including water leaks, mold, plumbing problems (affecting both sinks and bathtubs), electrical wiring issues, and problems with windows, floors, and appliances.

While many of these complaints were closed without violations being issued, several inspections were not completed, particularly regarding plumbing, electrical, and appliance issues, suggesting these problems may not have been fully addressed. In addition to the recent complaints, the building has open violations from a June 2024 inspection of apartment 3R, which documented multiple maintenance issues including problems with wood baseboards, electrical outlets, window locks, ceiling light fixtures, ceramic tiles, plaster surfaces, paint, and bathtub caulking.

Despite these various maintenance challenges, the building has maintained a good record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (from 2019 through 2024), and passed a rodent compliance inspection in 2010, though there was one recorded instance of rat activity in March 2010. The building's management has received multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints through the Housing Maintenance Code system, with all cases marked as "CLOSE" as of February 2025, though this does not necessarily indicate resolution of the underlying issues.
