69-02 Cooper Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 69-02 Cooper Avenue in Glendale, owned by Martin Giovanniello and built in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in August 2020, there was a cluster of emergency complaints regarding window frames, mold, and wall conditions, all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) with no violations issued.

However, subsequent inspections on September 3, 2020, revealed multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, including defective windows causing safety concerns, issues with plastered surfaces, and the absence of a proper carbon monoxide detector in the first-floor apartment. These violations were certified as corrected between late 2020 and mid-2021.

The building experienced an electrical lighting emergency in June 2025, though records indicate this was resolved. A positive development for the property was the successful passing of a rodent inspection in October 2024, indicating improved pest management. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020, the subsequent resolution of multiple violations and the passing of recent inspections suggest improvements in the building's maintenance and safety systems, though the recent electrical issue may warrant attention.
