71-08 72nd Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 71-08 72nd Street in Glendale, owned by Ayman Naguib, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, multiple violations were documented, including problems with water leaks (heavy flow), mold, plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), ceiling paint, and window frames.

Earlier maintenance history shows similar patterns, with September 2023 also recording water leaks and mold issues, though these were resolved without violations. The building has undergone several inspections resulting in violations that have since been addressed, including requirements for proper window guards, window replacements, and door closure mechanisms. Recent inspections from November 2024 identified several code violations related to building safety and maintenance, including the need for proper carbon monoxide detector notices, roof repairs to fix leaks in the 3rd story public hall, and removal of encumbrances in the public hall.

However, the building has passed recent rodent inspections (October 2024) and has maintained a bedbug-free status according to all four previous annual filings from 2022 to 2025, with no reported infestations. While the property has experienced recurring issues with water leaks and mold, particularly in 2024, the management has generally responded promptly to violations, as evidenced by the closure of multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints. The most recent bedbug report (May 2025) indicated no infestations during the previous annual period, suggesting successful pest management practices are being maintained.
