74-03 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11421

The two-story, three-unit building at 74-03 Rockaway Boulevard, owned by Barker Equities LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since late 2023. Most concerning are the recent violations related to heat and water systems, with a December 2023 inspection revealing hot water issues in both 1st and 2nd floor apartments, and additional violations regarding wall condition and plumbing in the 1st floor apartment.

The building has also faced ongoing sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage/recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed between February and June 2024, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. A cluster of violations from December 2023 includes issues with pest infestation (specifically mice in 2F), window repairs, and various maintenance concerns in both apartments. The Department of Buildings records show multiple active violations regarding the failure to file annual low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 for the 2023 inspection.

While there were some emergency safety issues in late 2023 regarding carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, these were promptly addressed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the last three reporting periods from 2020-2023. It's worth noting that while many of these violations have been documented and reported, the resolution status for several remains "Open" as of October 2023, including issues with bathroom leaks, electrical service, and various maintenance concerns in the 1st floor apartment.
