71-60 69th Street, Queens, NY 11385

This three-story, two-family house located at 71-60 69th Street in Glendale, owned by Zhen Jiang, has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concern regarding rodent infestations and heating system problems. The most recent service requests, including three rodent-related complaints in 2025 (most notably a rat sighting in June 2025), indicate ongoing pest control challenges, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene noting violations requiring follow-up inspections. Between late 2024 and early 2025, there were several heating and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), particularly during December 2024 when multiple heating complaints were filed.

The building has also faced sanitation issues, including garbage/recycling storage problems in November 2024, which resulted in HPD violations. The property's mechanical systems have received attention as well, with a boiler-related complaint logged in January 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. A stop work order related to 4C compliance was recorded and subsequently rescinded in October 2018.

The most recent complaint as of June 2025 is regarding possible illegal commercial use in a residential zone, which remains active with no inspection date or disposition recorded. Throughout these various issues, many complaints were categorized as "Emergency" situations, particularly those related to heat and hot water problems, highlighting the critical nature of these building systems to resident comfort and safety. While some issues have been resolved through inspections and violations were issued where appropriate, the frequency and nature of maintenance complaints suggest ongoing building management challenges.
