71-08 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

71-08 65th Place is a three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building located in Glendale, built in 1931 and currently owned by Elena Tepeneu. The building has experienced recurring issues with compliance to the Housing Maintenance Code (HMC), with multiple open violations since 2021 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD.

Between 2018-2024, the property underwent several significant inspections and repairs, including the resolution of safety concerns in unit 3R involving the installation of smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and radiator repairs, all of which were properly certified by February 2018. The building faced several administrative violations in 2018 regarding safety notifications and maintenance requirements, including gas leak procedures and housing information guides, which were certified as corrected by July 2018.

Most concerning is an active rodent-related service request from June 2020 with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene that remains in progress as of October 2023. A recent Department of Buildings complaint from June 2025 regarding work without a permit was marked as closed, though inspection access was not granted. The building's violation history suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly in maintaining required documentation and addressing pest control requirements, while the 2018 violations indicate past issues with building safety systems that were eventually resolved through proper certification.
