193-11 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 193-11 Linden Boulevard in St. Albans, owned by Gary Balmir, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months.

Most notably, the building has ongoing problems with mold, with violations documented in December 2024 showing mold growth on multiple walls in Apartment 3, as well as significant water leak issues. Inspection records from December 2024-2025 reveal multiple Class A and B violations, including the need to repair broken plaster surfaces and address water leak evidence in multiple rooms of Apartment 3. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with three separate complaints about inadequate heating systems and hot water supply between December 2024 and February 2025, for which violations were issued.

Other maintenance issues have included a non-functioning electric/gas range, door frame problems, and mailbox access issues, with multiple instances where HPD inspectors were unable to complete their inspections. While some complaints were marked as resolved or corrected according to tenant responses, there remain several open violations as of the most recent inspections, including hot water system access issues and security concerns with a loose handrail in the public hall. The building, constructed in 2004, continues to experience persistent maintenance challenges that significantly affect resident comfort and building safety.
