105-25 Ruby Street, Queens, NY 11417

The two-story, 6-unit tenement building at 105-25 Ruby Street in Ozone Park, owned by Mohammad Rahman, has experienced several notable maintenance issues and compliance violations in recent years. Most significantly, in early 2025, multiple complaints were filed and inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in housing maintenance code violations related to pest issues and flooring conditions, though violations were not found for mold, janitorial/superintendent issues, or wall conditions.

The building currently has open Class A violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports for 2021-2024. Additionally, there was an interesting case of an alleged illegal conversion at a neighboring property (114-17 Ruby Street) investigated in 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property's maintenance history shows persistent challenges with pest control and sanitation, with several 311 service requests regarding unsanitary conditions and pest issues.

Rodent inspections from 2009 indicate compliance failures for unspecified reasons. While most recent complaints have been resolved through inspection, with violations issued that require correction, the pattern of bedbug report violations and pest-related complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1931 as a New Law tenement) and its relatively small size (2 stories with 6 units) are typical for this type of structure in the neighborhood, though its maintenance record raises some concerns about resident comfort and building upkeep.
