69-27 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

This two-family house at 69-27 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Giovanna Salluzzo, is a two-story building constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during a significant cluster of complaints in February-March 2023, when multiple reports of heating and hot water problems were filed, along with several power outage complaints. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigation in February 2023 resulted in multiple open violations for apartment 2F, specifically regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply, unsafe electrical service, and gas supply issues.

Another set of violations was documented in February 2023 for apartment 2R concerning inadequate hot water supply. The building's maintenance history shows similar heat and hot water complaints in January 2022, suggesting ongoing infrastructure challenges. Before these recent issues, the building had some compliance concerns between 2018-2020 regarding non-conforming zoning, though no violations were ultimately confirmed upon inspection.

The property underwent rodent inspections in 2013 (failing) and 2017 (passing), indicating some concerns with pest control that appear to have been addressed. While the two-family configuration of the building is typical for the area, the persistent nature of heating, hot water, and electrical system complaints over recent years stands out as a significant pattern that has affected both units, with many HPD inspections being unable to gain access to verify complaints. The property maintains basic housing structure compliance but has ongoing issues with essential services that impact resident comfort and safety.
