78-14 Cloverdale Boulevard, Queens, NY 11364

78-14 Cloverdale Boulevard is a 2-story, 198-unit garden/masonette building located in Hollis Hills and owned by Michelle Forgenie, constructed in 1950. The property has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most notable being recurring indoor air quality problems reported in early 2025, specifically involving chemical vapors and odors, which prompted official advisories to the management. The building has faced multiple heating and water supply concerns, with emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues in 2023 and 2025, though some were reportedly resolved.

A significant cluster of problems emerged in mid-2024, including issues with paint and plaster (particularly affecting ceilings), water supply problems, and a mold-related violation that warrant attention. These violations predominantly affected Apartment B and involved multiple rooms and areas throughout the unit. The building has also had documented pest issues (2023), electrical problems (2023), and structural concerns including window frame issues (2022) and exterior wall maintenance needs (2024).

Most violations have been officially closed, though one Department of Buildings environmental violation from 2024 regarding step cracks and mortar issues was noted on record. The property passed an initial rodent inspection in 2018. The recurring nature of certain complaints, particularly those related to water/hot water and various maintenance issues, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
