67-28 78th Street, Queens, NY 11379

This three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building at 67-28 78th Street in Middle Village, owned by 78th Street Mazal Llc, has faced several recurring issues over the past few years, particularly concerning building-wide heat and hot water systems. Between 2022 and 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with some units being without heat or hot water at times. More recently, in early 2024, there were significant issues with a heavy water leak and ceiling plaster problems in Apartment 2, which resulted in multiple violations, including missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building is currently facing an open violation for failing to file its 2023 external low-pressure inspection report. Notably, there was also a bedbug violation in 2024 regarding annual reporting requirements, though the building's 2024-2025 bedbug report shows zero infested units. Historical records indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a stop work order in 2018 related to plumbing issues, which was later rescinded.

The building's heating system has been a particular area of concern, with multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water problems during 2022 and 2023. Recent inspections have revealed several violations that require attention, including water leaks and safety equipment deficiencies in Apartment 2. While there have been active violations related to boiler registration and inspection filings dating back to 2018, the most recent bedbug inspection reports (for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024) show no infestation issues in the building.
