78-67 80th Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, two-family house at 78-67 80th Street in Glendale, owned by Alexandra Caldaras, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heat and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in 2023 (two in December and three in May) regarding inadequate heating/hot water conditions affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

While some of these complaints were resolved, several inspections were hindered by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access to the affected units. The building also faced serious sanitation challenges in March 2023, including two sewage leak complaints and one related to human feces, though no health code violations were ultimately issued by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Additional issues documented in 2023-2024 include a gas/electric range problem, and throughout 2022, there were multiple complaints requiring attention including issues with flooring, mold, and pests - all of which resulted in violations being issued by HPD. There were also two permit-related complaints entered in early 2024 that couldn't be properly inspected due to access issues. The building's record shows a concerning frequency of maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, though not all complaints resulted in violations, and some were related to access problems for inspectors rather than to the actual conditions themselves.
