76-17 69th Place, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 76-17 69th Place in Glendale, owned by Martin Giovanniello, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns regarding plumbing, sanitation, and pest control. The most recent complaint, filed in September 2023, involved unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though this was closed in April 2024 after an HPD inspection found no violations.

The property has had recurring rodent-related issues, with complaints in both 2021 and 2023, though both inspections resulted in "passed" outcomes with no violations found. Water-related problems have been significant, with a heavy flow water leak reported in October 2018 and a plumbing water supply issue in March 2021, the latter classified as an Immediate Emergency by HPD. The building's most concerning history dates back to mid-2018, when two separate Environmental Control Board violations were issued: one for a clogged sewer line causing hazardous waste to drain onto the sidewalk (July 2018) and another for failure to comply with the Commission's orders related to this issue (September 2018).

While these violations were eventually resolved and the penalties paid ($1,250 for the sewer issue and $3,125 for the compliance issue), they indicate a period of serious infrastructure challenges. All subsequent rodent inspections in 2021 and 2023 passed without violations, suggesting some level of improvement in pest control measures. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of responded complaints being investigated, though not always resulting in found violations, particularly for issues like garbage storage and plumbing problems where access was limited or conditions were not substantiated during inspections.
