72-17 65th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 72-17 65th Place in Glendale, owned by Tima Muncan and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in late 2023, there were significant violations in Apartments 1R and 1L, including an infestation of roaches in 1R and multiple safety concerns such as defective self-closing doors, door refitting needs, and bathroom maintenance issues in 1R.

Additionally, Apartment 1L had violations related to a previously installed illegal double cylinder lock and hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees recorded in 2021. The building has also required attention to basic appliances, with two separate refrigerator-related complaints in late 2023 and 2024, though these were either closed without violations or had conditions corrected according to HPD.

Other maintenance history includes a slow water leak (2020), multiple wall paint/plaster issues (2020), and a Department of Buildings violation regarding an unfiled boiler inspection report from 2017 that remains active as of 2019. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradication efforts needed in any of the annual reporting periods from 2019 through late 2024. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, the most critical appeared to be in late 2023 with multiple violations affecting resident comfort and safety, though records indicate prompt attention and resolution of these matters through HPD inspections and certifications.
