116-21 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 116-21 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Anton Ginzburg, has been standing since 1931, with its most recent classification being "Hereafter Converted Class A." The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, with the most significant recent concerns centering around heat and hot water service, as evidenced by an emergency complaint in November 2018 affecting the entire building. The property has incurred multiple housing maintenance code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 through 2024, though the most recent bedbug report from July 2024 shows zero infested units.

A notable maintenance issue occurred in 2016 when violations were recorded regarding roof leaks and kitchen ceiling conditions in the third-floor apartment (3F), which were certified as corrected in June 2018. Historical violations from 2000-2007 highlight various maintenance challenges, including defective windows, electrical issues, and cleanliness concerns in public areas, all of which were subsequently addressed. There is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding an unfiled 2017 boiler inspection report that remains unresolved.

The building underwent some form of permitted work in August 2018, though the specific details of this permit are not provided in the available data. Most recently, an annual bedbug report filed in July 2024 shows complete compliance with reporting requirements for the period ending October 2023, indicating improved regulatory adherence. The combined history of violations and complaints suggests a pattern of maintenance issues, though many have been addressed over time, with the most recent concerns relating primarily to regulatory compliance rather than immediate habitability issues.
