166-01 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11434

The 267-unit, 8-story residential building at 166-01 Linden Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Leonard Damico and constructed in 1981, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues throughout 2025. Between January and April 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding building-wide heat and hot water outages, with HPD responding to inspections during which heat and hot water were reportedly restored. The building has demonstrated recurring patterns of infrastructure maintenance challenges, particularly with its elevator systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints (including on 2023-08-09 regarding an out-of-service elevator) and active Environmental Control Board violations related to elevator maintenance ($6,250 penalty for door zone system issues).

Additionally, the property reported significant bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent filings showing 3-5 affected units per year between 2023-2024, though all reported units were listed as eradicated. The building's safety systems have also shown areas requiring attention, including violations regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detector requirements in Apartment 8F (June 2024), and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to emergency systems and door maintenance in early 2023. There have been seven recorded bedbug infestation reports from 2020-2024, with the most recent showing 3-5 affected units.

Elevator service has been a recurring concern, with multiple reports of service interruptions and maintenance issues between 2021 and 2023. While the building has maintained basic rodent control measures with passing inspections in 2019-2020, there have been varying results in compliance across multiple inspections, indicating ongoing monitoring is necessary. A recent bedbug report from December 2024 documented three infested units, suggesting continued challenges with pest control at the property.
