96-30 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11417

The two-family house at 96-30 Linden Boulevard in Ozone Park, owned by Ronson Roopnarine, was built in 1915 and consists of two stories with three units. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions. Most notably, in late 2023, there were several simultaneous complaints regarding pests and mold, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducting inspections that resulted in no violations being issued, though some were marked as emergencies.

There were also two heat and hot water complaints in November 2023, one of which resulted in an inspection where access could not be gained, marking it as closed but suggesting potential ongoing issues. The building's violation history shows ongoing concerns with both sanitary conditions and building maintenance. In 2019, there were violations related to garbage and recycling storage, and more recently, a violation was issued in December 2023 regarding the absence of carbon monoxide detectors in the ground-floor apartment. Previous Department of Buildings complaints from 2019-2022 indicate multiple investigations into possible illegal conversions and zoning non-conformities, though many of these complaints were either unsubstantiated or resulted in "no access" inspections.

The property has also faced issues with dead vehicle storage in the rear yard, resulting in ECB violations in 2020 and 2021, though these have since been resolved. Historical records show a persistent pattern of rodent-related issues, with multiple failed inspections between 2019 and 2022, although the most recent inspections in 2021 and 2022 passed. While many complaints have been closed with no violations issued, the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's certificate of occupancy status has been a point of concern, with complaints in 2019 regarding potentially being "None/Illegal/Contrary to CO," though inspection results were not available.
