87-18 75th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 87-18 75th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Rosa Quinde, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with heating systems, over the past two years. Most recently, in early 2025 and continuing into 2024, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain access to inspect the conditions on several occasions. Between July 2024 and January 2025, the building faced various maintenance challenges, including issues with doors/windows, unsanitary conditions in garbage/recycling storage, electrical problems such as a power outage, and concerns regarding plumbing in the bathtub/shower facilities.

While some complaints were resolved quickly or determined to have no violations upon inspection, there were also instances where violations were issued, particularly during the January 2024 inspections. The building's history dates back to 1901, and it is a two-story structure with three units. During the winter months of 2024-2025, there has been a notable pattern of heating-related complaints, which have been categorized as emergencies.

In January 2024, there was an electrical power outage issue that resulted in violations being issued. A separate complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings was filed in February 2024, but the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. The variety of complaints filed suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with some complaints being categorized as immediate emergencies while others were deemed non-emergency situations. This pattern of service requests indicates potential issues with building access protocols and response times to maintenance concerns.
