245-01 62nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11362

The property at 245-01 62nd Avenue in Douglaston is a two-story, 100-unit garden/maisonette building constructed in 1953 and currently owned by Anthony Fanelli. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over recent years, with ten documented complaints between 2019 and 2025, including four emergency complaints in 2019-2020 regarding entire building systems, and subsequent incidents in 2021 and 2024.

More recent concerns include plumbing issues in 2024 and early 2025 (water supply and sink problems), both of which resulted in HPD inspections that could not be completed, and a power outage incident in March 2024 that required inspection but did not result in any violations. The most recent inspection in March 2024 revealed multiple electrical issues in Apartment 1, including defective outlets and switches in the kitchen, bathroom, and main room, which were subsequently repaired and certified as corrected in April 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, particularly during heat and hot water complaints, though some emergency complaints were investigated without violations being found. A rodent inspection conducted in June 2018 passed, indicating no significant vermin issues were present at that time. While most complaints have been resolved, the frequency of heat/hot water issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, and the inability to complete recent plumbing inspections is noteworthy.
