95-05 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The three-story, 12-unit New Law Tenement building at 95-05 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Pik Wong and constructed in 1931, has experienced significant recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between December 2024 and April 2025. During this six-month period, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heating/hot water systems (including three separate incidents in December 2024 alone) and electrical problems, including multiple power outages and lighting failures. Notably, one electrical incident resulted in violations being issued during an HPD inspection on December 26, 2024.

The building has also faced some structural and safety concerns, with a violation issued on December 28, 2024 regarding self-closing doors at the first floor vestibule, which has since been certified as corrected as of January 16, 2025. Looking at the building's history, there were previous heating system issues recorded in 2021 affecting the entire building, and the property is currently facing two active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 regarding failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 and 2019. However, the building has maintained a clean record for bedbugs over the past several years, with no documented infestations or related issues reported in the annual filings from 2021 through 2025.

Additionally, rodent inspections conducted in 2013 showed compliance issues initially, but the building passed subsequent inspections. The recent cluster of heating and electrical complaints between December 2024 and April 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, while the active DOB violations regarding pressure inspections indicate some potential oversight in maintenance compliance. However, the building's consistent bedbug-free status and responsive violation resolution process (as evidenced by multiple violations being closed promptly) demonstrate some level of attention to regulatory compliance, though the frequency of recent service requests raises questions about system reliability.
