65-15 Alderton Street, Queens, NY 11374

The 6-story, 45-unit apartment building at 65-15 Alderton Street in Rego Park, owned by Anthony Riccardi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly concerning building systems and tenant safety. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints in 2019, 2021, and 2022 reporting building-wide outages, though these were generally resolved promptly according to tenant reports.

More recent concerns include a slow water leak reported in March 2024 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The building currently has multiple open violations as of June 2024 related to safety systems, including problems with doors in the basement service area and missing safety devices in apartment 7C, which also has documented issues with water leaks, window frames, plaster surfaces, and smoke/carbon monoxide detector deficiencies.

There are also active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations, including a $2,500 penalty for failure to submit a required parking structure report by the August 2024 deadline. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with zero infestations reported in the past five annual reporting periods (2020-2025), and passed rodent inspections as of February 2012. Recent inspections in late 2024 (October and November) for tenant safety and local law compliance did not reveal any violations.
