17-12 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385
The six-unit, three-story tenement building at 17-12 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by John Karamouzos, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly during 2019. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in July-August 2019, primarily affecting apartment 1L, where multiple violations were recorded including mold, rodent infestation, lead paint hazards, and various maintenance issues such as defective plaster, paint requirements, and problems with window guards and safety detectors. During this period, the building experienced both emergency and non-emergency complaints related to plumbing issues including water supply problems and bathtub/shower concerns.
While some of these 2019 violations were ultimately closed, including rodent and safety issues, others remained open, specifically concerning lead paint hazards in the bathroom and kitchen areas. The building has shown recent compliance improvements, with all bedbug reports (2019-2025) indicating zero infested units, and the most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed successfully. However, there remains one active violation as of September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.
The property has maintained an overall passing record in more recent rodent inspections, with the most recent being satisfactory. Recent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2025 consistently show no infestations, suggesting effective pest management protocols. While the 2019-2020 period showed multiple housing maintenance code violations, the frequency and severity of recent complaints have declined significantly, though the building still requires attention to its low-pressure inspection requirements as of late 2024.
