Questions about this building

Does 68-04 79 Street, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 68-04 79 Street, Queens had 1 open violation on October 10, 2026: 1 from OATH/ECB. None is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 5 months, since May 6, 2026.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 68-04 79 Street, Queens?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 68-04 79 Street, Queens have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 29, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Has 68-04 79 Street, Queens been in housing court?

Yes. 1 housing court case here, opened in 2020. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.

Has DOB received complaints about 68-04 79 Street, Queens?

Yes. 1 DOB complaint, a conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. It was filed November 25, 2025. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.

When did 68-04 79 Street, Queens last file its bedbug report?

On June 23, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2024. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, HPD's annual bedbug reports and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
