150-63 14th Road, Queens, NY 11357

The 3-story, 4-unit residential building at 150-63 14th Road in Whitestone, owned by Luigi Ruocco and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there are currently three active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2023-2024, including one for failure to maintain proper building conditions with excessive construction debris in the rear yard (penalty $312), one for failure to comply with an order to file a certificate of correction ($1250), and a 2020 violation for work conducted without proper permits relating to interior demolition and improper storage of construction materials.

The building has a documented pattern of issues with debris management, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations regarding excessive debris between 2018-2023. The property underwent inspections and received varying dispositions from these complaints, with some resulting in Oath Violations being served. A recent inspection in April 2023 for a rodent sighting complaint found no violations, though the property passed an initial rodent inspection in April 2023.

The building's violation history shows attempts to address various maintenance issues, including problems with vinyl siding, gutters, and building exterior conditions noted in 2018-2019. There have been multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to the property during investigations in 2018 and 2019. While some older violations from 2019-2020 have been resolved or dismissed, several more recent violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges, particularly relating to proper permitting of construction work and maintenance of the property in accordance with building codes.
