19-17 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story tenement building at 19-17 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Goran Bizik, has been in operation since 1915 and has experienced several notable events regarding its maintenance and safety compliance. Most concerning is an active Department of Buildings violation from June 2023 related to the failure to file the required 2018 external low-pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of the current date in July 2025.

The building has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with all eight consecutive annual bedbug reports (from 2019 through 2024) showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, indicating effective pest management. The building has demonstrated compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, with initial inspections in 2016 and 2017 passing successfully.

However, two compliance inspections in 2014 resulted in failures for unspecified reasons, suggesting historical issues that have not recurred in subsequent years. The most recent significant maintenance issue occurred in March 2022, when the building received a class A housing maintenance code violation for failure to submit the annual bedbug report, though this violation appears to have been resolved based on subsequent filings. While the building's recent history shows good pest control practices and improved maintenance compliance, the outstanding low-pressure inspection violation from 2023 represents the only current unresolved regulatory issue on record.
