116-04 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 116-04 Rockaway Boulevard, owned by Annie Sukhnandan, has had a number of significant incidents and complaints over the past few years that warrant attention. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of smoking violations, with multiple complaints filed between 2020 and 2023, including recent complaints in 2023 and 2021 related to shisha and general smoking violations that were closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The building experienced concerning health and safety issues in 2020, including an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage that resulted in violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). An inspection on October 1, 2020, revealed several violations in Apartment 1, including the need to address a roach infestation (Class B violation), repair or replace defective carbon monoxide detectors (Class B violation), and fix a broken door frame (Class A violation), though the first two violations were subsequently closed.

The property has also faced compliance issues during the COVID-19 pandemic, with two separate complaints in October 2021 regarding non-compliance with vaccine mandate requirements for checking both customer and employee proof of vaccination, which were acknowledged by the city as part of regulatory enforcement efforts. More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint related to a building permit that resulted in an inspection where the inspector was unable to gain access for a second final attempt. While many violations and complaints have been addressed and closed over time, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly smoking violations, and the temporary health and safety concerns from 2020, highlight a history of compliance challenges at this property.
