198-12 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The two-story building at 198-12 Linden Boulevard in St. Albans, owned by Sheridon Gayle, was constructed in 1932 and currently contains 2 units. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in October 2023, including multiple door/window-related issues (three door complaints and two window frame complaints) as well as concerns with paint/plaster on ceilings and walls.

All of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but notably, no violations were issued in connection with these recent inspections. Historical data shows a pattern of emergency maintenance issues between 2019 and 2020, including multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, as well as an emergency mold problem. The building has also faced several significant maintenance challenges, including multiple violations related to lead-based paint hazards in Apartment 2 (2020) and a pest infestation that required remediation.

A concerning gas leak notification requirement was issued in 2021, and there were issues with bedbug reporting compliance in 2020-2021. More recently, the Department of Buildings has issued an active violation (as of September 2024) regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The building's bedbug reporting for 2022-2023 (filed in April 2024) indicates no infested units during the reporting period, with all previously reported infestations having been eradicated, though this follows previous reports of pest issues.
