102-11 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

This three-story, two-family house at 102-11 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Aleyamma Sharma, was constructed in 1930 and has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past several years. The most recent complaint was filed in December 2024, marking the third such incident since 2022, with similar complaints recorded in February 2023 and November 2022. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) responded to these emergency complaints, access to the apartments was denied in two instances, and while heat and hot water were reportedly restored in the February 2023 incident, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing issues with this essential building service.

The building has undergone several inspections and safety reviews in recent years. Two Tenant Safety Inspections were conducted by the Department of Buildings in late 2020, both resulting in compliance. Earlier, in 2014, there were rodent-related inspections where one resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," though the subsequent July 2014 inspection passed.

A building permit was issued in June 2020, with a job number of 421780932, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. The consistent nature of the heat and hot water complaints, particularly the lack of access for inspections, suggests there may be ongoing challenges with building systems. However, it's worth noting that not all complaints resulted in confirmed system failures, and in some cases, resolution was achieved promptly, as indicated by the closed statuses of the complaints.
