88-15 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The 2-family house at 88-15 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, built in 1931 and owned by Siu Ling Tsang, has experienced several notable issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most recently, in early 2023, there was a complaint regarding heat and hot water issues that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to investigate due to lack of access. This building also has active violations from June 2023 concerning the failure to file the required 2020 and 2021 external low-pressure inspections, which mark the only current outstanding issues in the building's record.

Between late 2019 and early 2020, multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pests were filed with HPD, though these complaints were closed when inspectors were unable to access the premises. During this same period, there was an emergency complaint regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues. The building's boiler inspection compliance history shows some concerns, with violations issued in 2023 for missing external low-pressure inspections, though a separate violation from 2019 regarding the 2017 boiler inspection was dismissed in March 2023.

The property has a mix of historical and current compliance issues, with the most recent concerns focusing on heat and hot water access and boiler-related inspection requirements. The building's recorded history shows a pattern of inspection access issues between 2019 and 2023, where complaints could not be fully investigated due to lack of access, including complaints about pests and heating problems. While there have been multiple violations and complaints over the years, most have been resolved or closed, with the exception of the most recent violations regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2020 and 2021, which remain outstanding as of the current date in July 2025.
