138-21 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story, two-unit building at 138-21 Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Louis Peralte and built in 1931, has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over the past decade. Most recently, in 2023 the building had a violation for failure to file 2018 external low pressure inspection records, though this was dismissed in April 2025. There was also an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding unpermitted plumbing work for a commercial sink installation, with a penalty of $6,250.

Between 2021-2022, there were concerns about window safety, with reports of broken or missing window guards, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspections. The building has had two smoking violations recorded in 2020 and 2021, both of which were addressed and closed. Regarding pest management, the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations in its annual filings from 2019 through 2024, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested.

The property has passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2017, demonstrating compliance with basic health and safety standards. The only recorded health complaint in recent years was a food poisoning incident in 2020, which the Health Department determined was an isolated incident. While the property has had some compliance issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2022 and 2023, the overall record shows active management of pest control and public health concerns, with most complaints being promptly addressed and closed.
