What to Know About General Home Inspections in Ozone Park
General home inspections in Ozone Park are mostly inspections of pre-war houses. In ZIP 11417, wider than the neighborhood itself, the city's tax-lot file puts about two thirds of the 5,400 residential buildings in the 1920s and 1930s and more than nine in ten before 1970. The largest single category is the detached one-family house; among two-families, frame construction and houses recorded as converted from one family each outnumber purpose-built brick. Frontages run from twenty to thirty feet across the middle half of the ZIP, at a twenty-four-foot median, on lots a hundred feet deep. Houses of that age usually carry cast-iron waste stacks corroding where they meet the basement floor, chimneys left unlined when the heat was changed to gas, low-slope roof sections draining through a single path that blocks, and electrical service sized decades before central air. Where a one-family has been split into two, the kitchens, baths and sleeping rooms are counted against the certificate of occupancy, and every sleeping room is checked for a way out. Report walkthroughs are available in English or Bangla.
The Ozone Park Housing Stock We Know
City Planning rezoned roughly 530 blocks here in 2013 because detached one- and two-family houses were being replaced by bulkier buildings. The neighborhood straddles two Queens community districts, and the gas-piping deadline for a three-family home turns on which side of that line it stands.
