70-15 66th Street, Queens, NY 11385

At 70-15 66th Street in Glendale, this 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building from 1931 has recently experienced a cluster of maintenance issues, particularly in mid-2023. Between June 2 and June 29, 2023, there were multiple complaints and violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) related to unsanitary conditions (pests), window maintenance, plumbing issues (basin/sink), and ceiling paint problems. Notably, there was a lead paint hazard identified in Apartment 1R in June 2023.

The building underwent a July 2023 inspection that resulted in several Class A and B violations concerning safety notices and door maintenance requirements, though these were certified as corrected by August 2023. More concerning is a serious violation from March 2024 regarding unauthorized construction work in Apartment 3L, involving the removal of bricks serving as a party wall housing chimney flue pipe gas line, which resulted in a $2,500 penalty that remains active as of 2024. The building's recent history also includes three 7R complaints filed in May 2025, though their specific nature is not detailed in the records provided.

On a positive note, the building's bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 indicate no infestations, with zero units affected in each reporting period. A boiler inspection violation from 2019 was ultimately dismissed in 2023. The most recent complaint activity suggests ongoing monitoring of building conditions, with the 2025 complaints being relatively recent and their details not fully available in the current data set.
