79-11 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The three-story, two-family house at 79-11 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Hao Chen, was constructed in 1910 and has been facing persistent regulatory challenges related to its boiler and heating systems. The building has outstanding violations with the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) dating back to 2018, when two significant violations were issued regarding improper boiler registration and safety concerns, including unapproved materials in discharge pipes, missing flue pipe supports, inadequate water pipe supports, and insufficient lighting in the cellar.

These violations carried penalties of $3,125 each, though no balances are currently due. More recent violations suggest ongoing compliance issues, including a 2023 violation for failure to file the 2018 external low-pressure inspection and a 2020 violation for non-filing of the 2017 annual boiler inspection report.

These inspection-related violations indicate potential concerns regarding the maintenance and safety of the building's heating system, which may impact resident comfort. Additionally, there was a food contamination complaint related to a food establishment on the property in late 2020, though this issue was addressed and closed in mid-2024. The building's recorded issues point to a pattern of regulatory non-compliance, particularly regarding boiler inspections and safety requirements, which remains unresolved as of the most recent data available in October 2023.
