72-14 67th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 72-14 67th Street in Glendale, owned by Omer Hodzic, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most recent concerns occurring in February 2023, including heating/hot water problems, electrical issues, and pest infestations - though the HPD was unable to access apartments for heat/hot water inspection. In May 2022, multiple violations were documented, particularly in apartment 2R, involving safety concerns (missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), unsanitary conditions (mold), and various maintenance issues (windows, walls, and plaster).

During this same month, HPD inspections resulted in violations related to mold, window issues, wall deficiencies, and safety equipment. The building has also been subject to three complaints regarding possible illegal work or conversions between April and June 2022, though inspections did not find violations warranting action in two cases, and access could not be gained for the illegal conversion complaint. More positively, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the official filing periods from 2019 through 2024.

Recent inspections in 2023 led to two Class A violations regarding improper posting of smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements near the mailboxes on the first floor, which were certified as corrected in May 2023. While the building's age (constructed in 1931) and maintenance history suggest ongoing upkeep requirements, the absence of recent bedbug problems indicates effective pest management. The pattern of violations in 2022 suggests a period of concentrated maintenance issues, particularly affecting apartment 2R, though many of these were addressed and certified as corrected in subsequent months.
