970 Jamaica Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11208
The three-story, five-unit tenement building at 970 Jamaica Avenue, owned by Ali Hassan and constructed in 1915, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years. The most recent heating complaint, recorded in January 2023, involving the entire building, was resolved according to tenant reports, though this was not the first incident of its kind.
There have been multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting either the entire building or individual apartments between 2019 and 2023, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responding and determining that heat and hot water had been restored in most cases. The building has also faced other significant maintenance challenges, including fire escape safety concerns (2019) with violations for obstructed egress and rust needing repair, and various maintenance issues in Apartment 2L requiring attention to ceiling, wall, and floor conditions, as well as smoke detector repairs (2019).
Two bedbug reports in 2019 and 2020 were issued violations for not filing mandatory reports, but subsequent filings from 2022 through 2024 show zero infestation cases. The building's most recent unaddressed violation, issued in June 2023, relates to an external low-pressure inspection that was not filed. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a record of passing rodent inspections in 2012 and 2016.
