125-21 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 125-21 Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park, owned by Eileen Chava, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though housing officials were unable to access units for inspection.

The property has also faced multiple food safety concerns, particularly in 2024, with complaints about food poisoning and improper food handling practices, including bare hand contact with food. An active violation was issued in May 2024 regarding an unpermitted HVAC installation at a first-floor commercial space (Domino's Restaurant), with an associated $830 penalty. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with rodent control, particularly in 2019, when multiple inspections showed rat activity, though a compliance inspection in September 2019 passed successfully.

Between 2018-2019, there were several instances requiring bait application to address rodent issues. The property was built in 1925, consists of two stories, and currently contains two residential units. While there have been various health department interactions regarding food safety, both in the building and in commercial spaces, many of these issues appear to be isolated incidents rather than systemic problems.
