86-18 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family home at 86-18 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Giovanni Marciano, is a 2-story building constructed in 1931. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years, with emergency complaints filed by tenants in both apartments in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

In the most recent incident from January 2025, inspection access was again not granted. The building underwent multiple HPD inspections for various maintenance concerns, including unsanitary conditions related to pests in both 2022 and 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued. Additional complaints have been logged regarding paint and plaster issues on walls and ceilings, with one such complaint categorized as an emergency in January 2023.

Despite these challenges, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building over the past three reporting periods from 2021 through 2025, with the most recent report from July 2025 showing zero affected units and successful eradication in previous years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). While the building has had multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, it's worth noting that many complaints were filed but not able to be verified due to access issues, and several were subsequently resolved or closed without violations being issued. The pattern of recurring heat and hot water complaints, particularly in recent years, appears to be the most significant ongoing maintenance concern for the building.
