69-11 Central Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 69-11 Central Avenue in Glendale, owned by Sait Hodzic and constructed in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most pressing are current heating problems, with open heat/hot water complaints filed in January 2025 and November 2024, though inspections did not result in violations. The building has also faced recurring mold and pest issues, particularly in November 2024 when violations were issued for unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest problems.

During a November 2024 inspection, multiple violations were documented in apartment 3L, including lead paint hazards on door frames, windows, and other surfaces (Class C violations), as well as mold issues in the bathroom (Class A violation). The building's history shows persistent maintenance challenges, with multiple heat and hot water complaints since December 2022, though access to apartments was not granted during some HPD inspections. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last five years of monitoring from 2019 through 2024.

Most recent complaints about window frames and window issues in January 2025 were investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. While some recent complaints have been resolved without violations, the pattern of heating system issues and the presence of mold and lead paint hazards in 3L indicate ongoing maintenance concerns. The building's age (94 years old as of 2025) and history of heat-related complaints suggest potential challenges with system reliability and overall building maintenance.
