105-06 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family house at 105-06 Jamaica Avenue is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1920, currently owned by Elba Maribell. The property has experienced a significant cluster of maintenance issues in June 2024, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system.

Most notably, there were three separate heat and hot water complaints in June 2024, including one affecting the entire building and two related to individual apartments, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspections in some cases. The building has documented violations related to water leaks (both heavy flow and slow), window pane issues, door problems, and multiple instances of heat/hot water concerns between June 2024 and the present. The June 2024 complaints included various building maintenance issues such as problems with stairs flooring, window panes, water leaks, electrical outlets, and smoke detectors, with some violations issued that can be viewed on the HPD website.

The building's most recent heat/hot water complaint was filed in June 2024 and closed the following day, though it appears to be part of an ongoing pattern of heating system issues. The property has also faced other maintenance challenges including door/window problems, plumbing concerns (specifically involving a basin/sink), interior wall maintenance needs (paint/plaster), and multiple inspections by HPD in response to tenant complaints, though some inspections resulted in no violations being issued. While some issues were resolved promptly, the pattern of complaints suggests recurring maintenance challenges impacting resident comfort and safety.
