70-33 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit building at 70-33 66th Street in Glendale, owned by Danny Vajanc, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in July 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints including a power outage, water leak with heavy flow, issues with electric/gas range appliances, and problems with a window pane. An inspection on July 14, 2023, revealed several violations in apartment 2L, including issues with window guards, window panes, self-closing doors, and various plumbing problems affecting both hot and cold water supplies, though these violations were not certified as of the last available data.

More recent complaints in November 2023 involved issues with lighting and heat/hot water, with the latter inspection unable to access the affected apartments. The building's maintenance history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding window safety and plumbing issues. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting, with the most recent report from May 2025 indicating a single unit infestation that was reportedly eradicated, though no re-infestation occurred. Previous bedbug inspection periods from 2024 and earlier had reported no infestations.

The building's rodent inspections from 2017 show mixed results, with one initial inspection failing for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. The building, constructed in 1927 as a New Law Tenement, has demonstrated ongoing challenges with basic services and safety features, particularly in apartment 2L where multiple violations have been documented. While some complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, others remain open or had limited inspection access, suggesting continuing maintenance and safety monitoring requirements. The recent pattern of electrical issues, including both lighting problems and power outages, combined with water-related complaints, indicates potential infrastructure challenges within the building.
