17-06 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 17-06 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Joel Landau, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. In February 2023, multiple complaints were filed and investigated by HPD, resulting in violations for window guard issues, mold presence, and flooring problems, while other complaints about cabinets, walls, and an appliance were resolved without violations.

More recent inspections in July 2024 revealed violations related to self-closing doors at the bulkhead and third-story public hall, though most of the previously identified issues appear to have been addressed. Notably, there are currently two active violations from June 2023 regarding unfiled external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all reports between 2019-2025 showing no affected units.

However, a rodent infestation was documented in 2019 with multiple baiting attempts, though the most recent inspection from September 2024 passed. Since December 2023, various safety and maintenance violations have been reported and addressed, including mold remediation and window guard repairs in apartment 3L, while several other regulatory requirements, such as posting building registration information and gas leak procedures, have been properly addressed. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing attention to building code compliance, with particular attention needed to resolve the two active DOB violations from 2023 regarding external low-pressure inspections.
