70-42 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

70-42 66th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law tenement building constructed in 1931 in Glendale, currently owned by Joy Cinquemani. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns being rodent sightings in 2024. There were multiple rodent complaints in early 2024, with inspections conducted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

While one inspection in March 2024 passed without violations, two May 2024 complaints were either closed without inspection or resulted in inspection failure due to access issues. The building has maintained an active bedbug reporting record from 2019 to 2025, with all reports showing zero infested units, indicating successful pest management. In early 2024, there were several housing maintenance code violations, including an open Class B violation in Apartment 2L related to a fire escape window bracket, and completed violations regarding self-closing door mechanisms in the building's vestibule and entrance. The building's heating system received scrutiny in January 2024 with an emergency complaint about heat/hot water affecting the entire building, though this was ultimately closed without violations.

The property's recent history shows a mix of compliance and maintenance challenges. While the building has passed some inspections, the pattern of rodent complaints throughout 2024 suggests ongoing pest management challenges. However, the consistent zero infestation reports in the bedbug reporting system and the resolution of certain code violations, such as the improper frame for inspection certificates in the public hall, indicate some attention to maintenance issues. The open violation related to the fire escape window bracket in Apartment 2L, while classified as Class B, represents the most significant remaining safety concern as of the latest available data.
