134-11 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

134-11 Rockaway Boulevard, owned by Okafor Building Corp, is a 2-family house built in 1920 located in South Ozone Park. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during late 2023 and throughout 2024, with multiple complaints between October 2023 and November 2024 regarding these critical services, some of which resulted in violations.

There have been several plumbing-related issues documented, including problems with toilets, radiators, and water supply systems, with the most recent complaint filed in April 2025. A significant cluster of violations was recorded in February 2024 concerning Apartment 1, including issues with the window frame, electrical outlets, shower head, wall tiles, and various plumbing fixtures, though the status of many of these violations remains open as of June 2025. The building's maintenance history shows documentation of four consecutive years (2018-2022) of failure to file mandatory external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued in 2023 for each of these missed filings, indicating potential concerns about building system maintenance compliance.

A rodent inspection in early 2022 recorded rat activity, though a subsequent inspection in October 2019 had passed. The property has a history of access issues during inspections, particularly regarding heat and hot water complaints, as documented in multiple instances from October 2023 through December 2023, where inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their evaluations. While there were several Department of Buildings complaints regarding vacant conditions and illegal conversions in late 2019, these were ultimately unsubstantiated based on department records.
