145-32 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11436

145-32 Rockaway Boulevard is a 2-story, 4-unit residential building located in South Ozone Park, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Sheldon Miller. The property has experienced recurring issues with unsanitary conditions in recent years, particularly in 2023, with three reported incidents of mold (two classified as emergency complaints) and one complaint about pests in March 2023.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated the mold complaints, no violations were issued, though they could not gain access for the pest complaint. The building currently has four open violations (as of April 2024) regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, suggesting ongoing concerns about pest management compliance. The building's record shows several other notable incidents, including a 2019 gas-related violation involving an unpermitted gas stove replacement in Apartment 2L, though this was later resolved with no penalties.

In 2023, there were multiple complaints related to egress issues and the presence of illegal hotel rooms, though inspectors were unable to gain access in some cases, and no violations were confirmed during inspections of these complaints. A complaint about vacant and unguarded property was filed in March 2023, but no violations were found upon inspection in July 2023. The property's age and history of maintenance issues, particularly relating to pests and gas equipment, indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and regulatory compliance.
