70-37 72nd Place, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, 4-unit residential building at 70-37 72nd Place in Glendale, owned by Edgar Tibantubon and constructed in 1931, has a concerning pattern of unresolved housing maintenance code violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements. Since 2021, the property has accumulated four successive violations (2021-2024) related to the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, which remain open as of 2025.

Other notable historical issues include multiple lead paint hazard violations documented in December 2018 in Apartment 2R, affecting various surfaces including walls and ceilings, though these were subsequently closed in February 2019. During the same inspection period, several safety concerns were identified and addressed, including carbon monoxide detector issues, the need for gas leak procedure postings, and problems with a key-operated lock on a fire egress door in Apartment 2R, all of which were resolved.

Most recently, there is an open non-emergency complaint from June 2025 regarding lighting issues, and an initial rodent inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The building was also subject to a Department of Buildings complaint in July 2021 concerning illegal commercial use in a residential zone, though inspection access was not granted and the case was closed in August 2021. While some historical violations have been addressed, the pattern of open violations concerning bedbug reporting requirements and the recent lighting complaint suggests ongoing maintenance oversight challenges.
