224-01 69th Avenue, Queens, NY 11364

224-01 69th Avenue is a 2-story, 224-unit residential building located in Bayside, Queens, and built in 1949. The property, owned by Abraham Biller, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues from late 2024 through 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These incidents suggest a persistent pattern of heating system problems, with at least eight documented complaints between November 2024 and April 2025, including both apartment-specific and entire building outages.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with inspection attempts regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations between late 2024 and 2025, though HPD inspectors were often unable to gain access for proper evaluation. The property has documented maintenance violations requiring attention to various safety and habitability issues. Notably, in September 2024, violations were issued for mold conditions and broken floor tiles in Apartment 67-83, while in July 2023, Apartment 1 was cited for vermin infestation.

In April 2022, Apartment 2B received violations for missing carbon monoxide detectors and a mice infestation, and in 2020-2021, several violations were recorded in Apartment B related to ceiling/wall condition, roof leaks, and interior surface issues. An electrical work-related violation was issued in July 2021 for unauthorized electrical modifications throughout a first-floor apartment, resulting in a $400 penalty, though this was later resolved. While there have been some documented bedbug incidents between 2019-2021, the building has shown no reported infestations in recent years (2022-2024). A rodent inspection in February 2019 resulted in a passing grade, indicating compliance with rodent control standards at that time.
