118-16 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

This three-story, two-family house located at 118-16 Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill, built in 1900 and currently owned by Sonia Halkiadakis, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in March 2022, there were emergency complaints about both electrical problems (no lighting) and heating/hot water issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

More recent activity includes multiple complaints in October 2023, including reports of unauthorized construction work and electrical concerns, with inspectors again unable to gain access during final attempts. Prior to this, in July 2020, there were investigations into potential illegal unit conversions, resulting in an oath violation. The building has also faced serious regulatory scrutiny regarding its use, particularly in July 2020 when two Environmental Control Board violations were issued against 211-79 Kurtes LLC, concerning illegal occupancy and operation of a bar lounge establishment (referred to as "Happy Day Bar Lounge") without proper approval, though these violations have since been resolved.

Financially, the penalties for these violations included $625 for one incident and $2,500 for another, though records show a negative balance of -$1,575 for one of the violations. On a more positive note, the property successfully passed two rodent inspections conducted in March and July 2015, suggesting compliance with basic health and safety standards at that time. The building's long history dates back to 1900, with the current ownership being maintained by Sonia Halkiadakis, though specific ownership duration details are not available from the provided data.
