69-62 Almeda Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

The 2-family house at 69-62 Almeda Avenue in Arverne, built in 1920 and owned by 6962 Almeda Ave 2017 Inc, has experienced several notable incidents over the past decade. Most recently, in September 2023, there was a cooking gas-related emergency that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

The building has faced ongoing concerns regarding its Certificate of Occupancy status, with an active complaint filed in April 2025 following an inspection attempt in July 2025 where the inspector was unable to gain access. Between December 2020 and January 2025, there were three mobile food vendor-related complaints handled by the Department of Health, and in late 2020, two complaints regarding electrical wiring issues were filed with the Department of Buildings, though inspections conducted on the same day found no violations.

The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2014 and 2018, with initial inspections in 2014, 2017, and 2018 resulting in failures for various reasons, though subsequent compliance inspections in 2015 and 2018 passed. The building's maintenance history shows some areas of concern, particularly related to gas systems and electrical wiring, though many complaints have been investigated without resulting in violations. The most pressing current issue appears to be the ongoing Certificate of Occupancy matter, which has not been resolved as of mid-2025.
