18-05 215th Street is a 16-story, 289-unit residential building constructed in 1969 and currently owned by Cheryl Rosen. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water availability, with five documented emergency complaints between 2022-2024, though inspections generally found that services had been restored before inspection. More recently, there has been one confirmed rat sighting in October 2024, though this inspection found no violations.

The building's fire safety systems came under scrutiny in January 2024, with identified issues regarding self-closing doors at stairwells A, B, and C, though these violations were subsequently closed. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple environmental control board violations in recent years, including a penalty for failing to submit the required parking structure observation report in October 2024. Construction-related violations were noted in 2022, primarily concerning scaffolding and safety compliance issues, though these were resolved.

The building management has maintained proper bedbug reporting records since 2019, consistently showing zero infested units. Multiple violations related to low pressure system inspections and energy benchmarking reporting were issued between 2023-2024, though many were subsequently dismissed. The most recent building permit was issued in April 2023 for exterior work, and regular rodent inspections have been conducted, with the most recent passing inspection in November 2024.
