19-16 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 19-16 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Maria Baginski and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years. Most prominently, there were significant heating system issues in March 2020, with violations related to an unregistered Weil McLain gas-fired steam boiler and illegal gas line connections, resulting in penalties of $312 each. The building has maintained an active compliance record regarding bedbug reporting, with no reported infestations across all units in the last four filings (2022-2025), and all historical filings showing zero infested or eradicated units.

Plumbing issues were documented in April 2021, though inspections found no violations. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has issued multiple Annual Bedbug Report violations from 2021-2024, though recent filings indicate the requirement is now being met. The building passed rodent inspections in 2016 and 2017, suggesting good vermin control practices.

The property's recent history shows improved maintenance compliance, particularly regarding bedbug management, which has been properly reported in recent years after initial violations. The most recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 were successfully closed, indicating attention to regulatory requirements. While the 2020 heating system issues were concerning, these violations appear to have been resolved, and there have been no similar complaints in recent years. The building's history of violations appears to be moving in a positive direction, with recent inspections and filings showing improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements.
