96-25 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11417

The 4-unit, 3-story class A building at 96-25 Rockaway Boulevard in Ozone Park, constructed in 1931 and owned by Wendy Jupiter, currently has several active violations and maintenance issues that warrant attention. Most notably, there are ongoing open violations from December 2024 in Apartment 1 related to carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, hot water temperature exceeding 130 degrees, and defective self-closing door hinges.

Multiple 311 complaints from January 2025 resulted in violations for door/window frames, electrical lighting, and plumbing issues, though inspections in some cases found no housing law violations. The building also has three active bedbug report filing violations from 2021-2024, suggesting non-compliance with mandatory reporting requirements. Recent history shows various maintenance and safety concerns, including 2025 complaints about heating (though HPD found no violations), and multiple violations requiring attention to door/window frames, flooring, and safety systems.

The building has experienced some administrative issues requiring attention, including violations for failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2022 and 2023, though these were subsequently dismissed. While a rodent inspection in 2010 resulted in a passing grade, the building's recent maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is needed to address both safety systems and general maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 1 where multiple violations have been cited. A 2022 complaint regarding an illegal conversion was unable to gain access for inspection, and there have been recent zoning complaints that required investigation.
