72-38 73rd Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, 12-unit building at 72-38 73rd Street in Glendale, owned by Jovan Bajic, was constructed in 1928 and has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most recently, in November 2023, there were multiple emergency heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, though these were initially reported as duplicates of an original complaint, and investigations confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored, with the HPD stating that new complaints should be filed if problems persisted.

The building has also faced safety-related violations, including three Class C violations in November 2023 regarding door self-closing mechanisms at both the public hall and building entrance on the first story, which were not properly closing due to the installation of hook-and-eye devices, though these issues were subsequently closed. The property has maintained a regular pattern of bedbug reporting compliance, with the most recent filing in February 2025 showing no reported infestations for the 2023-2024 period, following a similar pattern of zero infestations reported in previous filings from 2023 and 2021-2022.

Historical records show consistent bedbug report compliance issues from 2021 through 2024, with three separate violations issued in 2021, 2022, and most recently in April 2024, all related to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though these were all subsequently closed. Aside from the recent heat/hot water issues and door safety violations, the building's violation history suggests generally responsive management in addressing both maintenance and regulatory requirements, with most issues being resolved promptly through proper channels.
