70-41 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The property at 70-41 66th Street in Glendale is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by the Harold & Christine Rastetter Trust. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past three years, with four documented complaints between 2023 and 2025, including both entire building and apartment-specific incidents.

The most recent heat complaint in January 2025 was investigated but found no violations, similar to the April 2024 complaints. In August 2023, multiple issues were reported and investigated, including paint/plaster problems, mold, water leaks, and security concerns related to the building's entrance lock. The building has shown some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a 2019 flooring violation in Apartment 1L, and in April 2024, Apartment 3L was found to have multiple safety issues including missing self-closing doors, temperature control violations, and missing smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, though records indicate these violations were subsequently addressed.

More recent building concerns include an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors in June 2024 (with an advisory sent to management) and a power outage incident in August 2020. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the last two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), though there was one documented case in 2022 that was reported as eradicated. The property has also experienced some structural and security-related issues, including a 2023 violation for an illegally installed double-cylinder key-operated lock at the front entrance and a 2022 requirement for annual bedbug report filing.
