144-12 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house at 144-12 Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park, owned by Karine Stephenson, has experienced several notable incidents since 2020 that warrant attention. Most significantly, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2020 regarding an unpermitted structure on the property, described as a finished one-story building at the rear lot approximately the size of a single-car garage, complete with vinyl siding, gable roof, and entry door.

This violation carries a penalty of $1,250, though records show no balance due. The building has also faced recurring issues with water retention and drainage problems, with three separate complaints filed between 2020 and 2022 regarding these concerns. While each of these complaints was ultimately closed, they were notable for the inspectors being unable to gain access to the property during their final inspection attempts in both April 2022 and January 2021.

The property's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with property access and compliance with building regulations. The most recent incident related to water drainage issues occurred in April 2022, over three years ago, while the unpermitted structure violation from October 2020 remains the most significant outstanding compliance issue on record. The building, constructed in 1930, is classified as a two-family house and consists of two stories, typical for its building class.
