103-23 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11417

The two-family house at 103-23 Rockaway Boulevard in Ozone Park, owned by Vilati Rathour, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2R). Open violations from 2020 relate to inadequate hot and cold water supply and defective carbon monoxide detectors, while 2019 violations include concerns about hot water temperature exceeding 130°F, broken plaster surfaces, and various safety issues in the public areas including electrical wiring and building entrance door problems. The most recent series of complaints from February 2025 indicate multiple unresolved issues including unsanitary conditions (pests), flooring problems, and plumbing concerns (basin/sink), though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints.

Subsequently, from June 2025, nine maintenance code complaints were filed and closed, documenting issues such as a slow water leak, flooring problems, wall paint/plaster issues, door frame concerns, pests, and multiple plumbing matters including bathtub/shower problems. The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with plumbing systems, water supply, and pest control, suggesting ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure. The property has also experienced periodic heating system issues, with complaints about heat and hot water in 2019, though some of these were resolved without violations.

Safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors have been a persistent concern, with multiple violations noted in both 2019 and 2020. While some past violations have been resolved, many ongoing issues appear to require attention, particularly regarding water systems and pest management. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and two-story configuration as a two-family house are consistent with typical residential properties of this type in the neighborhood.
