64-11 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 64-11 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Joel Fekete, has exhibited several concerning maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three separate heat and hot water complaints since 2019, with the most recent building-wide incident occurring in March 2023, though HPD could not gain access to verify the problem. Other significant issues include a power outage in March 2023, plumbing problems including a toilet issue in October 2019, and multiple complaints regarding window frames and various maintenance concerns.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, evidenced by separate complaints in 2019 and 2021, though some were resolved without violations. In April 2019, violations were issued for ceiling paint/plaster issues, and in October 2019, multiple violations were noted in Apartment 1R, including water leak problems, peeling paint in the bathroom, and door-related issues. The property has undergone several regulatory inspections and requirements over the years, including multiple bedbug reports from 2020-2024 showing zero infestation cases, though there were two violations in 2020 related to bedbug reporting requirements.

Safety and maintenance inspections revealed various issues needing attention, including safety violations regarding window guards and ceiling conditions. Recent rodent inspections show mixed results, with a rat activity report in March 2023 followed by passed inspections in May 2023 and September 2024. The building's historical records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, electrical issues, and plumbing problems, with varying degrees of resolution through HPD interventions.
