140-19 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house located at 140-19 Linden Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Everton Dawkins and built in 1945, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in early 2025, there were two complaints regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, though inspections by HPD found no violations.

In October 2024, the building faced multiple issues, including problems with a refrigerator, bathtub/shower plumbing, and heat/hot water systems. While HPD was unable to complete inspections for the refrigerator and plumbing complaints, violations were issued for both the refrigerator and bathtub/shower issues, indicating the presence of maintenance concerns requiring owner attention. The heat/hot water complaint during this period was resolved through telephone confirmation of correction.

Earlier, in June 2024, there was another complaint about a refrigerator problem that HPD could not inspect. The persistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding essential systems like heat/water and appliances, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though many complaints were either resolved or closed without violations being found upon inspection. The building's two-family configuration and its relatively modest age of 80 years suggest it has undergone typical urban wear and tear, though the volume of service requests in recent years stands out.
