150-70 Goethals Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The three-unit residential building at 150-70 Goethals Avenue in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by David Stone, was constructed in 1999 and is classified as a Class A multiple dwelling. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns being identified in late 2024 involving rodent activity that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Throughout 2023, the property experienced recurring problems with moisture-related issues, including multiple reports of water leaks and mold, particularly in the first half of the year, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) did not result in formal violations. The building also underwent various improvements and corrections in 2023, including repairs to broken plaster and paint surfaces, and addressed several housing maintenance code violations related to safety and notification requirements, such as smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector postings. The property's recent history shows active management response to various maintenance issues, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints and violations being documented and subsequently addressed.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2023-2024 with multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and water issues, though these were mostly resolved through inspections that did not result in formal violations. The building's rodent control records present a mixed picture, with recent inspections in 2025 showing compliance, but earlier inspections in 2024 indicating some issues. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, and the property has generally passed most health and safety inspections, including the most recent rodent inspection in March 2025.
