102-28 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, four-unit building at 102-28 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Edwin Rosado, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced several maintenance issues requiring attention over the past two years. Most notably, there are multiple open violations as of April 2024, including requirements for bedbug reporting, proper postings for carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, and specific notices regarding gas leak procedures. The building has also had recurring maintenance issues in 2023-2024, including problems with doors/windows, flooring, plumbing, and various sanitary conditions, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) found no violations for these complaints.

In mid-2023, the building had significant emergency maintenance work done regarding a ceiling plaster issue and water leak, along with various non-emergency repairs needed for cabinets, flooring, and door/window areas. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations issued in 2023 remain unresolved, including deficiencies in safety notifications and postings in the common areas. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations between November 2021 and October 2022, with all units listed as free of infestation and no units requiring eradication.

A boiler-related complaint was filed in May 2023, but the inspector was unable to gain access to complete the inspection. It's worth noting that while many recent complaints and violations have been addressed or closed, there remains a cluster of open violations related to safety postings and procedural notifications that were cited in 2023. The building's relatively young age (constructed in 2007) suggests that many of these issues may be related to typical maintenance and compliance challenges rather than age-related deterioration, though the repeat nature of some complaints warrants attention.
