224-14 Linden Boulevard, Queens, NY 11411

The three-unit, three-story building at 224-14 Linden Boulevard in Cambria Heights, owned by Emmanuel Anosike, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018. Most notably, there are open violations from 2021-2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, which pose a potential sanitation and pest control concern for residents. The building has a documented history of emergency safety concerns, particularly in 2020, including multiple issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and door-related safety problems.

In late 2018, multiple violations were recorded for the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3), including issues with door self-closing mechanisms, bathroom fixtures, missing smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. The property has also experienced intermittent heating and water supply issues, with complaints recorded in 2018 and 2020. While some of these violations and complaints have been closed, including a 2020 heat/hot water issue and a 2018 plumbing complaint, the persistence of the bedbug report violations over multiple years is particularly notable.

The most recent building inspection data available through April 2024 indicates that this bedbug report violation remains open. The building dates back to 1941 and has undergone typical wear and tear seen in many similar properties of its age. While some safety and maintenance issues have been addressed over time, the presence of current open violations suggests that certain regulatory requirements have not been consistently met. The property's history indicates periodic attention to various maintenance issues, though not all problems appear to have been permanently resolved based on the most recent available data.
