113-02 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, four-unit building at 113-02 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Shanti Ammar, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. The property underwent a significant event in May 2023, when a Department of Housing Maintenance Code inspection revealed a mouse infestation in apartment 2R, though this was subsequently certified as resolved by June 22, 2023.

The same inspection also identified three additional code violations, including the absence of a properly framed certificate of inspection visits near the mailboxes, and the failure to post and maintain the building's registration number and address on the entrance wall. The building's recent history shows a pattern of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with all six annual reports between 2020 and 2025 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units, suggesting effective pest management in this regard. Previous violations from 2021 and 2022 related to bedbug report filings were noted, though these appear to have been rectified.

An external incident occurred in April 2019 involving work contrary to a stop work order at a nearby property (114-18 Jamaica Avenue), but this was not directly related to the building in question. A pigeon waste complaint was reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in November 2019, though no violations were found upon inspection. While recent inspections have identified various administrative compliance issues, the timely resolution of these violations and the building's clean bedbug record since 2020 indicates proactive management of most maintenance concerns.
