70-35 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

70-35 66th Street is a three-story, six-unit residential building located in Glendale, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by Rosa Boehme. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with recurring problems in the heating and plumbing systems. Most notably, in November 2024, there were two separate incidents involving radiator issues and heating problems, both classified as emergencies, though these were reportedly resolved within a few days.

A September 2024 complaint about a door issue also occurred but no violations were found upon inspection. The building has documented multiple housing maintenance code violations, most of which were addressed and certified as corrected by October 2024. These violations included safety concerns such as illegal fastenings on bulkhead stair doors, missing safety caps on electrical outlets, defective light fixtures in the vestibule, and failures to post required safety notices regarding gas leaks, carbon monoxide detectors, and heating system access.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in any of the annual inspection periods from 2019 to 2024. Additionally, there have been two recent Department of Buildings complaints regarding unauthorized commercial use in a residential zone (October 2024) and Local Law 188/17 compliance (December 2022), though in both cases inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. While the building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, particularly in the second half of 2024, many of the recent violations were promptly addressed, and the absence of bedbug infestations over multiple years is notable. The most pressing concern appears to be the building's aging infrastructure, as evidenced by the repeated heating and plumbing service requests.
