70-43 Little Neck Parkway, Queens, NY 11004

70-43 Little Neck Parkway is a 228-unit, 2-story garden/masonette-style residential building constructed in 1948 and currently owned by Robert Friedrich. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with a particular emphasis on plumbing and heating systems. Most recently, in early 2025, there was an attempted HPD inspection related to water supply issues that could not be completed.

The building has a documented pattern of plumbing-related problems, including water supply issues in October 2021 (which resulted in violations), and more recently in December 2023 and February 2025. There have also been multiple instances of heating and hot water complaints, including an emergency call in October 2021 that required HPD intervention. The property has faced electrical issues as well, with a no-lighting emergency complaint in December 2023.

Inspection records from October 2021 revealed several housing maintenance code violations in Apartment 1st Floor, including problems with the bathtub, plastered surfaces, ceramic tile, and the need for an operational carbon monoxide detecting device. The building has undergone some significant work in the past, including a controversial gas meter installation project in April 2018 that was conducted without proper permits, along with the installation of a washer machine on the first floor under similar circumstances. An Environmental Control Board violation related to inadequate tenant protection was issued in October 2021, though this was subsequently resolved. While many complaints have been resolved through HPD interventions, the recurring nature of plumbing, heating, and electrical issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
