The 6-unit residential building at 70-15 65th Place in Glendale, built in 1931 and currently owned by 70-15 65th Place LLC, has experienced numerous concerning issues in recent years.

Notably, there are persistent rodent problems, with several complaints and inspection results showing rat activity and bait application between 2023 and 2025. The building also has documented maintenance issues, particularly in apartment 1R, including multiple housing maintenance code violations from August 2024 related to water leaks, electrical fixtures, and plaster/paint conditions in the bathroom, as well as a more recent emergency complaint from January 2025 regarding door/window issues. Serious safety concerns have emerged, including a November 2024 violation regarding excessive debris throughout the cellar and apartment 1L, and an active violation related to fire safety due to excessive hoarding in the cellar.

Egress issues have been documented, with blocked exit passageways noted in March and November 2024.

While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status according to reports dating back to 2019, the ongoing issues with pests, sanitation, and maintenance raise significant concerns about the current living conditions and building management practices.
