111-07 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

The two-story, two-unit building at 111-07 Rockaway Boulevard in Richmond Hill, owned by Deodat Ramdat, has experienced multiple significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in December 2023. During this period, the property faced multiple emergencies requiring Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention, including a heat/hot water complaint, electric power outage, water leak, and issues with the electric/gas range, all of which resulted in violations.

The building is currently facing several open violations as of April 2024, including issues with heating systems, gas supply, and roof leaks, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns regarding building maintenance requirements, such as an open violation related to the annual bedbug report submission and multiple violations concerning building access and maintenance standards.

The property has a history of electrical issues, with an active Environmental Control Board violation from August 2023 describing hanging burnt defective electrical wires and open boxes throughout the store, resulting in a $4,000 penalty. Other notable violations include a 2019 ECB violation regarding improper work or modification of plumbing systems, which was completed in June 2024, and an earlier violation from 2018 about work done without proper permits for bathroom installations. While the building has passed some inspections, including a rodent compliance inspection in May 2017, the recent cluster of emergency maintenance issues and open violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
