72-53 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The building at 72-53 65th Place in Glendale, owned by Brahim Vulic, is a 3-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly evident in August 2019 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding entire building outages, resulting in violations being issued. More recent complaints include a February 2023 individual apartment heat and hot water issue that was reportedly resolved.

Additional maintenance concerns include a 2020 pest inspection that could not be completed due to lack of access, and a 2019 plumbing water supply issue with similar access problems. The building has undergone various regulatory inspections and received multiple violation notices over the years, with the most recent being a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection. In 2021, several significant life-safety violations were documented in apartment 1R, including issues with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and egress door functionality, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. Apartment 3R was identified in 2019 with window guard deficiencies requiring correction.

The property has maintained an active record of compliant bedbug reporting since 2019, with no reported infestations in any of the documented filing periods from 2020 through 2025, though there were multiple reporting periods with annual filings required by HPD. The building's documented history shows consistent issues with building-wide heating systems, periodic pest control challenges, and various life-safety system deficiencies that have required addressing over time. The most pressing concern remains the building's heating system reliability, with multiple complaints spanning from 2019 through 2023 indicating this as an ongoing challenge for residents. However, the property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and has addressed most specific violations when identified, as evidenced by certification dates showing resolution of many documented issues.
