70-33 260th Street, Queens, NY 11426

The 128-unit, 2-story garden apartment building at 70-33 260th Street in Bellerose, owned by Robert Friedrich, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to mold, cabinet problems, and window frame issues, for which violations were subsequently issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These violations, particularly concerning mold, merit attention due to their potential health impacts. The building's maintenance history also reveals a power outage incident in February 2022 that was treated as an immediate emergency, though no violations were found upon inspection, and a ceiling paint/plaster issue in May 2021 that was promptly addressed and resolved.

A window frame complaint from March 2025 was found not to violate housing laws during HPD's inspection. While some issues have been resolved relatively quickly, the recent clustering of complaints in 2025, particularly regarding mold and unsanitary conditions, stands out as the most significant current concern within the building's maintenance record up to October 2023.
