89-17 72nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, 52-unit residential building at 89-17 72nd Avenue in Glendale, owned by Martin Kalt, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over recent years. In particular, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints in December 2024 alone, all of which were either resolved during inspection or were confirmed to be corrected by tenants, though one notable violation was recorded in December 2024 regarding defective carbon monoxide detection equipment in apartment 2. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with similar complaints filed in February 2022, November 2022, and October 2021, though most were closed with reports of restored service.

Additionally, there was a slow water leak complaint lodged in December 2023 that was closed after inspection. The property has faced rodent-related challenges, with inspections showing active bait application in August 2023 and initial inspections in June and May 2023 passing without violations. Historical rodent inspections from 2016 also showed compliance.

While the building has had multiple service requests and inspections, most have been resolved promptly, often with tenants reporting restoration of services during agency inspections. The pattern of heating system complaints and the recent CO detector violation in December 2024 are notable concerns, though many other service requests have been addressed without resulting violations. The building's age (constructed in 1950) and history as a garden/maisonette property are characteristic of the Glendale neighborhood's architecture.
