73-43 260th Street, Queens, NY 11004

The property at 73-43 260th Street in Glen Oaks is a 192-unit, 2-story garden/maisonette building constructed in 1948, currently owned by Robert Friedrich. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent cluster of concerns centered around Apartment 1, including violations issued in late 2024 for kitchen wall and ceiling paint requirements and defective carbon monoxide detectors, though these were certified as corrected by January 2025.

Other significant issues in Apartment 1 from 2020 remain open, including a defective bathtub and a roach infestation. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, including a period of heat and hot water outage in 2021, multiple plumbing concerns in 2020 (including bathtub/shower and radiator issues), and a history of pest-related complaints. Recent inspections in 2023 and 2025 found no evidence of active rodent infestations.

The building's electrical systems have also required attention, with non-emergency complaints regarding outlets/switches noted in late 2024. The property has undergone some permitting activity in recent years, with work permits issued in 2018, 2019, and 2020, though a stop work order was issued and later rescinded in 2021 for work that had not commenced. While the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has investigated various complaints, including one in early 2025 regarding drinking water that found no health code violations, the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues that suggest ongoing property management challenges.
