76-17 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 76-17 Myrtle Avenue in Glendale, owned by Tereza Hakobyan, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, particularly focusing on one unit (Apartment 2) where most violations are concentrated. Most notably, as of October 2024, there are ongoing concerns regarding heating systems, with an open complaint about inadequate heat/hot water service. Recent inspections in October 2024 documented multiple violations in Apartment 2, including problems with plaster surfaces and paint, carbon monoxide and smoke detector issues, window security features, and heating system components.

A particularly pressing concern is an open Class C violation related to a roach infestation, along with a previous scalding hot water issue where temperatures exceeded the legal limit of 130 degrees. Additional maintenance issues have included floor problems, electrical concerns, and various building system deficiencies, with some violations being classified as emergencies. The building, constructed in 1938, has maintained relatively good pest control records, with no documented bedbug incidents in the last three reporting periods (2022-2025) and passing an initial rodent inspection in 2017.

While many of the recent violations have been addressed or closed through inspections, there remain several active issues that could affect resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control. The property has a mixed record of maintenance resolution, with some issues being promptly addressed while others persist, as evidenced by the open complaints and violations. The building's most recent significant problems appear to be concentrated in a single unit (Apartment 2), while the common areas and other units have received less attention in the violation records, though the presence of building-wide heating and pest complaints suggests these issues may not be limited to just one unit.
