70-07 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 70-07 66th Street in Glendale, owned by Jesus Vasquez, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2023. In March 2023, multiple non-emergency and emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed, including issues with door/window facilities, water leaks, fire escape safety, and outside building concerns such as the skylight and roof door/hatch.

Additionally, two active violations remain from March 2023 related to inadequate heating supply and door self-closing mechanisms. Earlier issues documented in 2022-2023 in apartment 3R included problems with heating, gas supply, bathroom fixtures, and pest control, particularly involving a cockroach infestation. The building has three active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file annual boiler and low-pressure inspection reports between 2018 and 2021.

Infrastructure concerns have been noted, including complaints in 2022 regarding building shaking or vibrations, though inspectors were unable to gain access during multiple attempts. While there have been ten 311 service requests since 2019, the property appears to have maintained a consistent bedbug-free status according to reports filed in 2022, 2023, and 2024, with zero confirmed incidents or infestations recorded during these periods. The building, constructed in 1927, has been subject to various maintenance requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, and while many violations from previous years have been resolved, several remain open as of the latest inspections.
