69-18 Almeda Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 69-18 Almeda Avenue in Arverne, owned by Joseph Jordan, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years (2020-2025) that warrant attention. Most notably, there are two open violations currently on record: one from 2021 regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in the east wall of the third room from the north in the second-floor apartment, and another from 2020 concerning a faulty door in the east wall closet of the private hallway in the second-floor apartment.

The building has had multiple emergency maintenance calls, particularly in January 2020 and January 2021, including issues with window guards (both broken and missing), doors, and wall conditions, though no violations were ultimately issued for the 2021 inspections, despite multiple complaints. A significant safety concern was addressed in January 2020 when a complaint regarding a missing smoke detector was documented and subsequently closed. The building, constructed in 1920, has generally maintained compliance with rodent control measures, having passed a 2014 compliance inspection following an initial failure earlier that year.

Plumbing issues were also reported and inspected in 2021, specifically relating to bathtub/shower problems, though no violations were issued in that instance. The most recent permit activity on record dates back to October 2018, when a permit was issued for work described under sequence number 440517102. While many of the building's maintenance issues have been addressed through the 311 service request system, the presence of open violations as of 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance needs that have not been fully resolved.
