20-45 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The two-story, four-unit New Law tenement building at 20-45 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Arkadiusz Boirkowski and dating back to 1915, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, the building underwent both a rodent complaint investigation and inspection, resulting in no violations being found and passing inspection.

However, in 2023, there was a significant water leak complaint labeled as an emergency with heavy flow, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development were unable to gain access for verification. The building has faced two Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2022 and 2023 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though all three violations from previous years (2019, 2020, and 2021) show a consistent pattern of zero infested units, which suggests effective pest management despite the reporting violations.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2023, with denied access on two attempts in 2024, though this appears to be related to a different address (11385). The property has maintained a good track record with rodent inspections, passing in both 2017 and 2025, indicating that while there have been some maintenance issues, particularly with water leaks and reporting compliance, the building management has generally addressed pest control concerns effectively.
