102-45 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

At 102-45 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, a 6-unit, 4-story building constructed in 2007, there have been multiple maintenance issues requiring attention over the past year. Most notably, in mid-2024, the building experienced recurring problems with mold, heavy water leaks, and pests, with multiple violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in April 2024.

The end of 2024 brought additional concerns, with December inspections revealing mold issues in apartment 3F (bathroom and ceiling), along with self-closing door problems in both apartment 3F and the main building entrance. The building has also experienced various service requests in 2025, including issues with electric outlets, flooding, and door problems, with several categorized as emergencies. The property owner has maintained a bedbug-free record since 2018, with no infestations reported in any of the eight consecutive annual filings.

While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly related to water leakage, mold, and door functionality, the absence of recent bedbug infestations is a positive aspect of the building's maintenance history. The current open violations primarily relate to door self-closing mechanisms and electrical issues, though some violations from late 2024 have been closed. Regular inspections and reports indicate ongoing attention to building maintenance, though recurring issues suggest some persistence in underlying problems, particularly regarding water-related concerns.
