64-05 186th Lane, Queens, NY 11365

The three-story, 684-unit building at 64-05 186th Lane in Fresh Meadows, owned by Ari Rosenfeld and constructed in 1950, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with particular concerns regarding water damage and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about mold and pests, with HPD inspectors conducting an inspection of the mold complaint. Earlier issues in 2025 included water leak problems, heating issues, and ceiling problems resulting in violations being issued in March 2025.

The building has also experienced recurring problems with mold, plumbing (particularly in bathrooms), and heat/hot water systems, especially evident in early 2025. Several violations remain open from 2024, including those related to ceiling problems in Apartment E, and there are ongoing concerns about self-closing doors in public areas as evidenced by multiple open violations from October 2024. The property has passed recent rodent inspections conducted between March 2023 and June 2025, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 passing successfully.

Notably, the building has shown no evidence of bedbug infestations in the past two reporting years (2023-2024) with zero reported cases across multiple filings. While recent pest and mold complaints have been recorded, HPD inspections have generally found that the observed conditions do not violate housing laws, though some complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection. The building's history includes one violation from 2019 regarding a broken wood fence in the rear yard, which was resolved with no penalty.
