144 Jamaica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11207

144 Jamaica Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, owned by Markiel Chulpayev and constructed in 1899. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in March 2022, when multiple service requests were filed regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), electrical problems (outlets/switches and power outage), plumbing issues (basin/sink), and appliance concerns (electric/gas range). While these March 2022 complaints were closed, inspections were unable to determine the conditions due to lack of access.

Earlier in June 2020, the building faced violations related to water leaks and ceiling paint/plaster issues, though some unsanitary conditions complaints regarding pests from this period did not result in violations. The building's violation history shows several significant infractions that have since been addressed, including electrical service deficiencies, plumbing repairs needed in the kitchen, gas supply issues, and safety requirements concerning carbon monoxide detectors and housing information notices. Recent inspections in 2023 revealed unauthorized alterations involving floor piercings and construction work in both a first-floor apartment and the cellar area.

However, all violations from these inspections have been marked as closed. The property's bedbug reporting record from 2023 through 2025 shows no infestations or re-infestations reported during the past three filing periods, and historical rodent inspections from 2010 to 2013 consistently passed, indicating no evidence of rodent issues during that period. The building's documented history suggests recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in 2020-2022, with issues affecting multiple systems including plumbing, electrical, and pest control. While many historical violations have been resolved, the most recent bedbug reporting compliance (as of May 2025) shows the building has maintained a pest-free status for the past two years.
