194-05 67th Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

194-05 67th Avenue is a two-story, 410-unit garden apartment building located in Fresh Meadows, Queens, and managed by Queens Fresh Meadows LLC. The building, constructed in 1950, has experienced several maintenance challenges in recent years, most notably a series of heat and hot water issues in November 2024, with multiple complaints documented through the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) indicating difficulties with access for inspections. Three heat/hot water complaints from November 2024 and one from January 2025 resulted in HPD not being able to gain access for inspection.

Additionally, there was a pest-related complaint in January 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing concerns with building security and structural integrity. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were issued in late 2024 regarding problems with the building entrance doors and latches, classified as Class B and Class C violations.

Earlier structural issues were documented in 2021, with four ECB violations noting problems with the parapet wall, including cracks and mortar issues. An active ECB violation from October 2021 remains open, citing unauthorized electrical work. However, more recent inspections from 2023-2024 show no evidence of bedbug infestations, and past rodent inspections in 2018-2019 generally passed, suggesting some improvements in pest management. While the building has addressed many previous violations, the recurring access issues during inspections and recent heating system concerns indicate ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
