264-02 Langston Avenue, Queens, NY 11004

The 2-story, 180-unit building at 264-02 Langston Avenue in Glen Oaks, owned by Robert Friedrich, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2020. Most recently, in August 2024, there was a pest-related complaint investigated by HPD, though no violations were found.

The property has a documented history of moisture-related problems, with multiple mold complaints filed in 2020 (July and August), leading to violations for mold presence and associated maintenance issues in August 2020. The building also experienced a power outage in February 2021 and has had occasional pigeon-related cleanliness concerns, with inspections in 2021 finding no violations. The building's safety systems have been under scrutiny, particularly regarding carbon monoxide detection; an August 2020 inspection found missing detectors in the first-floor apartment, resulting in a violation.

More recently, in April 2023, the Department of Buildings issued violations for failure to submit Energy Efficiency Reports for 2021 and 2022, though these were subsequently dismissed in December 2023 after compliance was demonstrated. Historical records show the building passed rodent inspections in 2015 and 2021, and there was a heat/hot water emergency complaint in November 2018. The property has generally demonstrated responsiveness to regulatory requirements, with most recent violations being resolved promptly, though there have been recurring issues with moisture and pest control that suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
