17-14 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 17-14 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Perl Weisz and constructed in 1930, has experienced persistent maintenance and sanitation issues, particularly affecting the current residents of apartment 3L. Recent complaints from 2025 indicate problems with pests (June), sewage odors (February), and multiple unresolved sanitary conditions documented as mold, water leaks, and sewage issues in February. The apartment 3L has multiple open violations from 2024 regarding pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, flooring issues, and various other maintenance concerns.

There is also recent evidence of rat activity as of July 2025, following a passed rodent inspection in September 2024, which suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues and plumbing problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violation notices between January and March 2025, including concerns about water supply systems and damp spots. While there have been numerous inspections and service requests, many issues remain unresolved, particularly in apartment 3L where multiple violation notices from 2024 require repairs to roofing, flooring, cabinets, and various surfaces.

The building's overall condition is marked by recurring problems with water leaks, pest infestations, and various maintenance deficiencies, despite some complaints being resolved through HPD inspections. Notably, there were no reported bedbug infestations in the most recent reporting period, though one unit was noted as infested in 2024. The building has also recorded recent violations regarding external low-pressure inspection filings dating back to June 2023.
