71-33 260th Street, Queens, NY 11004

The property at 71-33 260th Street in Glen Oaks, owned by Robert Friedrich, is a 2-story, 248-unit garden/maisonette building constructed in 1948. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past several years, with nine documented complaints between 2020 and 2024, three of which were for the entire building and six for specific apartments.

These complaints were typically marked as emergencies, though inspection access was often denied or not granted, and while some cases noted restoration of service, the pattern suggests ongoing concerns with building-wide heating infrastructure. Most recently, in July 2024, there was a facility maintenance complaint regarding beach/pool/sauna services, though the resolution details were not specified.

In early 2023, the building was subject to several violations related to construction work conducted by Custombuilt Homes Inc., including issues with inadequately maintained scaffolding, improper public safety measures, and discrepancies between installed features and approved plans, such as an overhanging roof eave and skylight installation. While these violations were marked as resolved with no penalties imposed, they indicate some level of construction activity or maintenance work was occurring on the property during this period. The building's documented history shows a particularly concentrated period of heat/hot water complaints in October 2020 and October 2021, suggesting these months may have been particularly challenging for residents in terms of basic services.
