18-06 Gateway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11691

The 27-unit, 4-story tenement building at 18-06 Gateway Boulevard in Far Rockaway, owned by Adi Joseph and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heat and hot water complaints in late 2024 and early 2025, some of which were classified as emergencies.

The building has also faced significant water-related issues, with multiple complaints about heavy water leaks and ceiling problems in March 2025, resulting in violations being issued. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in November 2024, including a roach and mice infestation in apartment 2B, as well as various violations related to public hall conditions. The property has a documented history of structural and maintenance issues, including electrical wiring concerns in 2023, multiple illegal conversion complaints in 2020 (though inspectors were unable to gain access), and several building violations from 2018 regarding loose bricks and mortar issues on the 4th floor.

While the building experienced sanitary conditions issues in 2024 related to garbage storage and sewage, these were either closed without violations or due to lack of access for inspection. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2024) and the building passed a rodent inspection in 2017, suggesting some improvement in pest control measures. The current status of several violations remains uncertain, as their current status dates are listed as "None," particularly regarding a fire door self-closing mechanism issue identified in November 2024.
