19-20 Linden Street, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 19-20 Linden Street in Ridgewood, owned by Ethan Jamron and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, in 2018, Apartment 1L was found to have multiple violations including mold, water leaks, and problems with its smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with broken plaster surfaces.

A 2019 heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building was closed due to lack of access for inspection. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2024, with no reported infestations, there was a recent complaint in April 2025 regarding illegal hotel rooms, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has undergone regular inspections and appears to be addressing some safety requirements, as evidenced by the closure of various violations.

However, several Class B violations from the 2018 inspection remain unresolved, including safety concerns regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, door self-closing mechanisms, and water-related issues in Apartment 1L. The building's rodent inspections show passing results in 2016 and 2017, though there was one failure in 2013. The most recent HPD violations from March 2023 pertained to the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though these appear to have been administrative in nature, given the subsequent filings showing no infestations.
