70-08 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 70-08 65th Place in Glendale, owned by Walter Gully, has experienced several significant health and maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in May 2025, a rat sighting was reported, marking the building's second rodent-related complaint within a six-month period, though it passed a subsequent compliance inspection in July 2025.

Prior to this, in 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found violations during an inspection, suggesting ongoing pest control challenges within the property. The building has maintained a concerning history of bedbug infestations, with consistent reports filed annually from 2019 through 2024. The most recent reports from April 2024 documented two affected units that were successfully eradicated during the 2022-2023 reporting period.

An emergency heat and hot water outage incident in January 2019 - affecting the entire building - was resolved within three days when heat and hot water were restored, though this highlights potential concerns with building-wide systems. The building experienced another rodent sighting in late 2024, though this complaint did not result in any violations. Despite these various issues, the property has generally demonstrated compliance with inspection requirements, passing multiple rodent inspections and resolving most violations when cited, including an April 2024 violation related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement.
