222-01 69th Avenue, Queens, NY 11364

This two-story, 156-unit garden apartment building at 222-01 69th Avenue in Bayside, owned by Steven Day and constructed in 1949, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there has been a recurring and troubling pattern of indoor air quality problems in 2025, with multiple reports of human waste contamination between April and May, along with a recent complaint about chemical vapors in June 2025.

The building has also suffered from repeated heating and hot water system failures, with emergency complaints filed through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code from April 2024 through June 2025, though these issues appear to have been temporarily resolved with each intervention. Additional maintenance concerns include an active emergency complaint as of June 2025 regarding flooring/stairs conditions, and recent plumbing issues involving water supply systems.

The building's window frames were identified as needing attention in April 2025, resulting in violations. An inspection in October 2023 revealed defective carbon monoxide and smoke detector systems in Apartment B, which were certified as corrected by December 2023. While many of these issues have been addressed following complaints, the frequency and recurrence of similar problems, particularly regarding heating systems and air quality, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
