221-08 64th Avenue, Queens, NY 11364

221-08 64th Avenue is a 2-story, 136-unit garden/maisonette apartment building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Steven Day. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most recent incident occurring in November 2024 when residents reported a lack of heat and hot water, though these services were restored before the inspection could be completed. A concerning pattern of water-related issues was documented in 2019, with multiple complaints about both heavy and slow leaks, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first story, where violations were ultimately issued regarding water leaks in several rooms and bathroom ceiling.

That same inspection also revealed problems with the carbon monoxide detection system and plastered surfaces, though some violations remained open. In 2021, there were two separate complaints regarding indoor air quality and chemical odors, leading to advisories being issued to the property management. The building's maintenance history shows both reactive and preventative efforts, with two rodent inspections in 2017 and 2021 passing successfully.

Historical complaints about standing water in 2022 and various water-related issues in 2019 suggest ongoing moisture management challenges. While most complaints have been addressed and closed through HPD or DOHMH intervention, the reliance on tenant reporting for these issues indicates potential concerns about proactive maintenance responsiveness. The building's most recent service request indicates that heating system reliability remains a current concern as of late 2024.
