88-01 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The three-story, four-unit building at 88-01 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Saleh Almulaiki and constructed in 1931, has exhibited several recurring safety and maintenance issues over the past seven years. Between 2021 and 2022, there were multiple incidents involving non-compliance with essential safety equipment requirements, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and window guards, though inspections consistently found no violations.

More recently, in July 2024, formal violations were issued specifically for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3F, though these were certified as corrected by August 15, 2024. The building has also faced infrastructure maintenance challenges, as evidenced by a November 2022 inspection revealing various administrative violations relating to required postings and signage, particularly concerning safety equipment requirements and building notices. A recent complaint from October 2024 regarding work without proper permits was recorded but resulted in inspector inability to gain access.

While the building has maintained a consistent record of reporting zero bedbug infestations across multiple annual filings from 2019 through 2025, and no recent complaints related to sanitary conditions or pests have been recorded since 2022, the pattern of safety equipment issues and the recent permit complaint indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's safety equipment history shows particular concern with carbon monoxide and smoke detector functionality, requiring repeated attention from housing authorities. The building's current status as of mid-2025 shows resolved violations from 2024, but the pattern of issues suggests continuing vigilance is necessary regarding building systems and safety equipment maintenance.
