18-15 Everdell Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

18-15 Everdell Avenue is a 4-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by Gifrock LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in 2025, with multiple complaints regarding plumbing problems, particularly involving basins and sinks, and paint/plaster issues affecting walls and ceilings. Notably, there was a significant heating and hot water outage in April 2025 that required HPD intervention.

The building has visible structural concerns, with an ECB violation from April 2024 documenting cracks on the exterior facade, particularly around window lentils and parapets, as well as issues with the roof covering. Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 indicate problems in multiple units, including a potentially unsafe hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 2C and various repair needs in Apartments 1E and 4F involving floor tiles, plaster surfaces, and doors. The property has maintained a pest-free record in terms of bedbugs, with no reported infestations in recent years from 2019 through the present, and has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2023-2024, despite two failed inspections in 2010 and 2017.

Historical data shows attention to fire safety concerns, including a 2021 violation related to blocked fire escapes, which was subsequently resolved. Recent maintenance requests in 2025 continue to highlight ongoing basic infrastructure issues, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspections that either resulted in violations or were unable to be completed, suggesting potential challenges in obtaining consistent access for inspections or repairs. The building's age and history of violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges, though recent repairs appear to be addressing some of the more urgent issues.
