69-16 Cooper Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, three-unit tenement building at 69-16 Cooper Avenue in Glendale, owned by Ramon Rodriguez, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most concerning are two safety-related complaints in March 2025 regarding non-functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors; while these violations were marked as closed shortly thereafter, HPD was unable to complete inspections at the time and suggested residents submit new service requests if conditions persisted.

The building has consistently failed to meet bedbug reporting requirements, with open violations recorded each year from 2021 through 2024 indicating non-compliance with the Housing Maintenance Code's mandatory annual bedbug report filings. In mid-2024, there were multiple complaints related to a daycare facility (three separate complaints on June 6, 2024), though the exact nature and outcome of these complaints is not specified in the records.

More recently, in October 2024, the building passed an initial rodent inspection, which is a positive sign in terms of pest control. It's worth noting that while there have been two recent safety-related complaints, the rapid closure of these violations suggests some level of responsiveness to safety concerns, though the initial inability to complete inspections raises questions about access or other factors affecting the inspection process.
