136-48 Hook Creek Boulevard, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family residence at 136-48 Hook Creek Boulevard in Rosedale, owned by Salvatore Evola, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent concerns emerging in October 2023. Most notably, there are current violations related to apartment 2, including problems with a leaking bathroom ceiling and defective plastered surfaces that require proper repair and repainting.

The building has faced recurring infrastructure challenges, including a heating and hot water outage in October 2023 (though heat was not required at the time of inspection) and flooring issues that resulted in violations in April 2023. Other documented maintenance concerns include a plumbing water supply issue, and problems with the building's stairs requiring concrete mortar repairs, which were identified and supposedly corrected between April and May 2023. More recently, in August 2024, there was a reported unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage, though this was classified as a non-emergency.

The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing, but not necessarily resolving, foundational infrastructure and comfort issues. While many of these complaints have been inspected and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, including some immediate emergencies, the recurrence of similar issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The violations issued in October 2023, particularly regarding water damage and ceiling conditions in apartment 2, represent the most pressing current maintenance concerns as of this report date (July 2025), though it should be noted that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations during some of the recent inspections related to these issues.
