98-07 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The 4-unit residential building at 98-07 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Shlomo Zur-magen, has shown recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations regarding garbage/recycling storage conditions, with the most recent complaints in May 2025 remaining partially unresolved. The building has also experienced several heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints recorded in April 2025 and March 2025, though these were reportedly resolved promptly.

A significant violation was recorded in December 2024 regarding excessively hot water (over 130 degrees Fahrenheit) in Apartment 4D, which was certified for correction in December 2024. The property has maintained good compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all six filings between 2021 and 2024 showing zero infestation reports. Inspection records from 2023-2024 indicate some regulatory compliance issues were addressed, including the posting of gas leak procedures and housing information guides in May 2023.

However, there remains an open violation (since May 2023) regarding the removal of garbage encumbrances from the first-story public hall. The building was constructed in 1931 and is classified as a "Hereafter Converted Class A" building, suggesting it was originally converted to its current use from another purpose. The owner has generally responded to complaints, with many being closed after reported corrections, though some recent issues remain open as of mid-2025.
