74-26 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 74-26 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Jose Felipe, has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues over the past several years, particularly between 2018 and 2021. Most notably, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints during this period, with incidents reported for both the entire building and individual apartments, including cases in October 2018, December 2019, January 2020, and April 2020.

The building underwent inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in response to these complaints, with some incidents resulting in violations, and others where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Additionally, there was a complaint regarding an electric/gas range in October 2018, which also faced access issues during inspection.

More recent concerns include three complaints in 2019 related to gas utility issues, electrical wiring defects, and a failure to maintain, though these inspections in 2019-2020 were marked by inspectors being unable to gain access. A more recent complaint from August 2023 regarding failure to maintain was investigated in September 2024, but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The building, constructed in 1930, is a two-story structure containing two residential units, and though it has faced repeated heating system challenges, the most recent complaints do not indicate any active violations or urgent safety concerns, with the last notable issue being resolved without any found violations.
