Summary · as of November 9, 2026
70-32 65th Place (Queens, NY 11385; tax lot BBL 4036440021) is a 6-unit walk-up apartment building (building class C2: walk-up apartments, five or six families), built around 1931, on a 2,808 sq ft lot zoned R5D. City tax records list the owner as GM 70-32 65TH PLACE, LLC. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $744,000. As of November 9, 2026 (limited by OATH Hearings Division Case Status; other open-item sources were confirmed later), NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show one OATH ticket with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items. There were 29 311 requests in the past 12 months and 25 HPD complaints since 2019. (Source: NYC Open Data — DOB, HPD, OATH, DOF, DCP and ACRIS datasets — compiled by NYC Property Facts.)
