69-17 Central Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

69-17 Central Avenue is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Glendale, Queens, and owned by Daniella Ferina. Built in 1925, this formerly converted Class A property has experienced several notable events, particularly during the winter of 2018 when it faced multiple heat and hot water complaints between November 23 and December 1, 2018, prompting three separate HPD inspections.

While two of these inspections found no violations and one confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored, this period of utility issues required emergency attention. The building has maintained an active compliance record since then, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past five years, as evidenced by consistent bedbug reporting showing zero infested units in each annual filing from 2020 through 2024.

The most recent HPD inspection on April 15, 2024, resulted in a Class A violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. A significant inspection on November 28, 2018, revealed multiple safety and maintenance issues, including the need for security improvements (entrance door lock and chain guard at Apt 3), public area maintenance (household articles removal from halls), and safety upgrades (painting floor indicators, door self-closing mechanisms, and electrical outlet safety caps). This inspection also identified carbon monoxide detector issues that were subsequently addressed by February 2019, along with the requirement to post CO detection device requirements in the common area, which was also resolved.
