114-40 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

114-40 Rockaway Boulevard, a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in South Ozone Park and owned by Susan Persaud, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. The property has ongoing Department of Buildings violations for failing to file multiple required Low-Pressure External Inspections between 2018-2022, with these violations remaining active as of June 2023.

In January 2024, both apartments (1R and 2RR) had multiple significant issues, including problems with heat/hot water, sanitary conditions (specifically rodent and roach infestations), and violations related to water temperature exceeding 130 degrees at all fixtures. These inspections led to several violations being issued, though records indicate they were certified as corrected by February 2024. Additionally, there were deficiencies noted regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector functionality in apartment 2RR, and a missing or defective self-closing door issue in that same unit.

The building's recent maintenance history shows a concerning pattern of violations and service requests, particularly in the first quarter of 2024, with multiple heat/hot water complaints being registered through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints. While the property has maintained current bedbug reporting requirements with no reported infestations in the last two filing periods (2023-2024 and 2022-2023), the building's mechanical systems and overall maintenance responsiveness have raised concerns, as evidenced by the multiple active violations regarding required safety inspections that have not been resolved since 2019-2023. The building's classification as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure suggests it has undergone some form of conversion or modification from its original design, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
