70-09 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 70-09 65th Place in Glendale, owned by Marija Vukelic, has a documented history spanning several years with notable concerns about heating systems and water maintenance. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a water leak/damp spot issue that required HPD inspection, though no violations were issued. The building experienced two significant heating system incidents in late 2021, with complaints of no heat or hot water in both the entire building and in individual apartments.

While the HPD inspection during these incidents found that heat was not required at the time, these events indicate potential concerns with the building's heating infrastructure. The property has also faced several housing maintenance code violations in recent years, including a Class C violation in December 2021 for a roach infestation in apartment 3R, and multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2024. More recently, in 2024, the building underwent an inspection revealing several open violations from 2018 regarding inadequate lighting in public hallways, missing heating system access notice, and missing contact information for the building superintendent.

These violations, while not directly impacting current habitability, suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance. Notably, the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 consistently show zero infested units, indicating effective pest management. The DOB also issued violations in mid-2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed in October 2023.
