70-04 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 70-04 65th Place in Glendale, owned by Salvatore Favia, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been recurring pest infestations, with documented problems in 2019 and 2021 specifically affecting apartment 2LF, which experienced roach and mouse infestations that required HPD intervention and the issuance of multiple violations.

The 2021 inspection also revealed several other issues in apartment 2LF, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, defective plaster surfaces, and issues with kitchen flooring and walls, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected in November 2021. The building's recent history shows consistent attention to pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2019-2024) according to the city's Bedbug Reporting system.

A rodent inspection conducted in March 2017 passed without issues, suggesting that while pest problems have occurred, measures have been taken to address them when they arise. Apart from the pest-related violations, the building appears to be maintaining compliance with other housing maintenance codes, with all identified violations being addressed and closed. The property, which dates back to 1931, has shown particular vulnerability to pest-related issues in multiple years, with the most recent documented infestation occurring in late 2021.
