65-25 78th Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-family house at 65-25 78th Avenue in Glendale, owned by Eugene Dolphin, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in February 2023, there was a sewage odor complaint that prompted a Department of Health investigation, with an advisory issued to the property owner.

The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in late 2022 and early 2023, some categorized as emergencies, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify the issues. During the same period, there were also concerns about mold, electric power outages, wall conditions, and general unsanitary conditions, with one of the mold complaints classified as an emergency.

Two significant complaints were made regarding the property's gas system - an illegal or defective hook-up/piping complaint in September 2021 (which resulted in no violations being issued), and a more recent illegal conversion complaint in April 2024, though inspectors were again unable to gain access during the investigation. While many of these complaints were ultimately closed with no violations found upon inspection, the frequency and variety of issues reported, particularly concerning heat/hot water systems and indoor air quality, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in this 1920-built structure.
