260-01 Langston Avenue, Queens, NY 11004

260-01 Langston Avenue, a 2-story garden/masonette building built in 1949 and containing 104 units in Glen Oaks, has experienced persistent challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues documented in 2019, 2023, and 2024, with the most recent complaints in March 2024 indicating access problems for HPD inspectors. The building has also faced recurring pest issues, with several complaints regarding rodents and other pests between 2019 and 2023, though inspections often resulted in no violations being found.

A significant pattern of bedbug infestations is evident in the records, with the most recent filings (2023-2024) showing between 4 to 7 infested units each year, though all were reported as eradicated. Additional maintenance concerns include water leak and door issues documented in 2020, though inspections were unable to gain access to properly assess these problems. The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows particular concern with heat and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in March 2024.

Earlier issues included mold problems (July 2023) and pest infestations (April 2023). While some issues have been addressed through inspections and repairs, the pattern of repeated complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has undergone several inspections by both HPD and DOHMH, with most resulting in no violations being found, indicating some level of regulatory compliance despite the documented resident complaints.
