69-03 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, three-unit tenement building at 69-03 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Alexandra Caldaras, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in late 2023/early 2024, which required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

This building, constructed in 1931, has a documented pattern of bedbug reporting requirements, with violations issued in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the annual bedbug report filing, though more recent filings from 2022 through 2024 show zero infested units reported, suggesting improved compliance and no current infestation problems. The property has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings complaints over the past several years, including three separate complaints between 2019 and 2025 concerning construction work and permit issues, though inspections revealed no violations warranted for any of these complaints.

While the building's age suggests potential for various maintenance concerns, the recent bedbug reports indicate effective management of this particular issue, with no reported infestations in the past three years. The most pressing concern remains the recent heat and hot water outage, which, while resolved according to official reports, indicates potential infrastructure vulnerabilities that merit monitoring.
