72-18 Almeda Avenue, Queens, NY 11692

This two-family house at 72-18 Almeda Avenue in Arverne, built in 1997 and managed by Far Rockaway Real Estate Mgmt LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a plumbing-related water supply complaint that required immediate emergency attention but resulted in no violations.

In July 2023, there was a mosquito-related complaint logged with the Department of Health. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including a slow water leak in 2019 that resulted in violations, a water supply issue in 2024, and multiple plumbing complaints in 2018 affecting toilets, sinks, and various other fixtures, some classified as emergencies.

Of particular note are the housing maintenance code violations recorded in April 2019 for Apartment 1, which included issues such as roach infestation, water leak problems in the bathroom ceiling, defective flushing apparatus, visible mold conditions, and broken plastered surfaces requiring repair. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple violations and service requests focusing on these systems. While many of these violations are now closed, the recurring nature of water-related problems and the range of maintenance issues affecting both water systems and general apartment conditions suggest ongoing challenges with building infrastructure maintenance.
