69-47 Hillmeyer Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 69-47 Hillmeyer Avenue in Arverne, owned by Brenda Beresford-Mars, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues, particularly in 2025. Most notably, in March 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with doors, unsanitary conditions (specifically pests), and ceiling paint/plaster issues. During this period, there were also plumbing issues related to water supply.

The building has a documented history of similar problems, with pest infestations and ceiling issues being recurring themes. In 2021, significant concerns were raised about mold, water leaks, and safety equipment (smoke detectors) that required inspection, though no violations were ultimately issued. Currently, there are open violations from 2021 related to apartment 1, including issues with mice infestation, water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and carbon monoxide detecting devices.

Recent construction activity at a nearby address (116-92) has generated multiple complaints about sidewalk sheds and work contrary to stop work orders between March and April 2025, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to the property for verification. The two-family house, built in 1940, has exhibited persistent maintenance issues over the years, with a pattern of inspection requests that often result in either inability to access the property or findings that do not meet violation criteria. The most recent issues in 2025 generally fall into categories of emergency and non-emergency complaints, including problems with doors, ceilings, plumbing, and pest control.
