146-12 Rockaway Boulevard, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family home at 146-12 Rockaway Boulevard in South Ozone Park, owned by Shameer Shaheid and built in 1930, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past three years. Of particular note are multiple heat/hot water problems reported in January 2023, an electrical power outage in March 2023, and vermin infestations in both apartments, with documented mouse issues in Apartment 1 from late 2022 through 2023.

The building has also faced security and safety concerns, including a troubling fire escape violation and door-related issues in early 2023, though most direct complaints were eventually closed without violations being issued. More recent events include a 2024 violation related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report, following a previous violation in 2023 for bedbug infestation. The property experienced ventilation complaints and illegal conversion concerns in early 2023, while in July 2023, it received an Environmental Control Board violation for unpermitted electrical work related to a multi-split air conditioning system installation, resulting in a $400 penalty.

The building's rodent inspection history shows inconsistent results, with failures noted in 2014 and 2023. Although several complaints from early 2023 were ultimately closed with no violations found, the pattern of maintenance issues and pest problems suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent bedbug report from April 2024 indicates no current infestations, though previous reports show a unit had required eradication treatment.
