16-86 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

This three-story, three-unit tenement building at 16-86 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Doreen Tam and constructed in 1915, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance and pest-related issues over recent years. The property has consistently reported compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero infested units in the most recent 2024 report and previous filings from 2022 and 2021, though the building received three consecutive bedbug reporting violations in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Recent rodent activity has been documented in both September and October 2024, representing a concerning trend after multiple years of passing inspections between 2017-2022. The building appears to have undergone significant work in 2019, as evidenced by multiple issued permits for electrical work, plumbing, and other renovations during that year, though complaints related to construction site conditions were submitted in the same period, all of which were determined to have no warranted violations upon inspection. The property's housing maintenance and code violation history shows some irregularities, particularly with annual bedbug reporting requirements, though recent filings have shown proper compliance.

While the recent rodent activity is noteworthy, it follows a period of consistent compliance in previous years. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of prompt response to violations and periods of requiring multiple inspections to achieve compliance, with all documented complaints being resolved with no violations found at the time of inspection. The property appears to be actively managed from a regulatory compliance perspective, with timely responses to violations and regular bedbug reporting requirements being addressed, though the recent rodent activity period suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
