68-04 79th Street, Queens, NY 11379

This two-story, four-unit residential building at 68-04 79th Street in Middle Village, owned by Michelina Camporese, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in May 2025, there were two separate complaints about mold issues that resulted in HPD violations, though one inspection determined there were no housing law violations observed.

The building has a concerning history of utility-related problems, including a 2021 incident involving loss of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, and multiple electrical issues in May 2020, which included problems with lighting, outlets, and a carbon monoxide detector. During 2020, the building also received multiple violations for various maintenance issues in apartment 1R, including problems with bathroom fixtures, kitchen sink valve, and safety equipment, though these were subsequently addressed.

The property has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 indicating no infested or re-infested units as of June 2025. Between 2020 and 2024, the building underwent regular annual inspections that consistently noted the need to file bedbug reports, though the most recent 2024 inspection indicates this requirement was eventually resolved. The building's violation history suggests a pattern of addressing maintenance issues, but the relatively recent mold problems in 2025 and previous heating system failure indicate ongoing concerns with building systems and moisture management.
