70-01 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, ten-unit New Law Tenement building at 70-01 66th Street in Glendale, owned by Dragan Jenovac and built in 1927, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. The most significant concerns emerged in 2022 when Apartment B1 reported multiple violations including a mouse infestation, defective kitchen floor, gas range problems, bathroom plumbing issues, and broken door. Previous issues included window guard safety concerns in 2021 and 2022, with the latter resulting in an emergency complaint.

The building showed some environmental compliance history, with a lead paint hazard violation noted in 2021 (Apartment 1B) and an illegal parking-related ECB violation from 2018 that was resolved. More recent management appears to be maintaining better standards, as evidenced by the bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 showing no infestations, and a March 2023 curb cut complaint that resulted in no violations upon inspection. The property has a notable history of infrastructure concerns, particularly in 2021-2022, when multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed and subsequently closed, including issues with flooring, window frames, appliances, and unsanitary conditions.

Violations recorded in 2022 involved problems with various building systems including plumbing, gas supply, and electrical components, which were eventually certified as corrected. The building's age and history suggest typical maintenance challenges for a structure of its vintage, with the records showing a pattern of addressing and resolving violations, particularly during the period from 2021 through 2022. While past issues were significant, the more recent record shows fewer complaints and violations, with the most recent inspections finding no major problems.
