102-18 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family house at 102-18 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Nancy Orozco, has experienced several significant issues over the past six years, with safety concerns being particularly prominent. Most notably, in early 2019, there were two Environmental Control Board violations related to a gas-fired boiler improperly located in an apartment bedroom, resulting in penalties of $1,250 each that were ultimately resolved.

The building has a concerning pattern of access issues during Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections, with five documented instances between 2019 and 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits, including inspections related to illegal after-hours work and certificate of occupancy concerns. More recently, in January 2024, there was another complaint about illegal after-hours work, though this inspection also resulted in access denial.

The property has some active violations from 2019 related to the failure to certify corrections of immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, though one of these was later dismissed in October 2019. During March 2019, there were permits issued for electrical and plumbing work (job number 421888229), suggesting some construction activity occurred during that period. Overall, the building's recent history shows consistent issues with access for regulatory inspections and concerns about improper equipment placement, though many historical complaints have been closed and violations resolved.
