92-02 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The three-story, two-family house at 92-02 Jamaica Avenue in Woodhaven, built in 1901 and currently owned by Soon Rhee, has experienced several noteworthy events over the past several years. Most recently, in late 2023, there were health department interactions involving food-related complaints, including a mobile food vendor inspection in December 2023 and a food poisoning investigation in May 2023.

Earlier incidents that may raise concerns about resident comfort included a 2019 Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) warning to the owner regarding rodent/insect/garbage issues, though this was not substantiated in subsequent inspections. The building has also faced multiple compliance challenges with the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB).

In late 2023, there were notable issues regarding unauthorized electrical work, which resulted in an ECB violation for "work without permit" involving exposed wiring and associated electrical work at ground level, though no penalties were imposed. Previous complaints include a 2018 investigation into potential illegal conversion of the property, which was ultimately unsubstantiated according to department records. While an initial rodent inspection from February 2018 showed compliance, the pattern of DOHMH involvement suggests ongoing vigilance may be required regarding building maintenance and food safety matters in the vicinity.
