72-34 67th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 72-34 67th Street in Glendale, owned by Giacomo Favia and constructed in 1931, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in December 2023. A heat and hot water complaint was filed and inspected by HPD, though no violations were issued.

More concerning are three violations related to public safety systems, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2R, which were certified for correction in December 2023. This apartment has also experienced multiple issues requiring attention: there are currently open violations as of January 2024 for infestation of mice and roaches, and a hot water temperature violation (with previously documented issues regarding temperature exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit) that was closed after certification of corrections. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, consistently reporting zero affected units from 2019 through 2024, the recent maintenance issues in 2023-2024 warrant attention.

The most pressing current violations involve apartment 2R, which has been documented as having problems with pests, door hardware, and safety equipment, though many other violations from December 2023 have been properly addressed and closed. The building's maintenance history shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, providing some reassurance regarding pest management practices, though the recent problems in apartment 2R suggest particular attention may be needed in this unit. The age of the building and its New Law Tenement designation indicate it was constructed under specific housing regulations, which may influence certain maintenance requirements and standards.
