124-13 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

124-13 Jamaica Avenue is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building located in Richmond Hill, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by 124 Jamaica Av LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with complaints filed through HPD in December 2018 and January 2020.

The building has four active violations as of July 2022, including concerns about a non-stationary scuttle ladder on the third story and multiple flooring issues in Apartment 3 related to defective vinyl tiles. The building's history also reveals past maintenance challenges, with several complaints in late 2018 regarding water leaks, flooring, and ceiling issues, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these problems. Significant compliance issues emerged in 2019-2021, most notably regarding occupancy concerns, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to the illegal conversion or use of additional dwelling units, though these violations were later resolved with no penalties imposed.

The property went through various inspection stages regarding non-compliance, particularly during 2020-2021, with multiple citations for failing to certify corrections of immediately hazardous violations. Two rat-related inspections in January 2013 indicated pest control issues at that time. While many historical violations have been resolved, the building still has pending violation status as of late 2022, primarily focusing on safety and maintenance issues, including a non-stationary scuttle ladder and flooring concerns in Apartment 3.
