144-01 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story, two-family house at 144-01 Jamaica Avenue, owned by Amir Duscam and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, between December 2024 and April 2025, there was a plumbing issue involving a basin or sink.

In March 2023, the building faced multiple maintenance challenges within a short period, including problems with heat and hot water (reported as an emergency), a toilet issue (also classified as an emergency), and problems with the electric/gas range appliance, though inspections for the latter two did not result in any violations. The heat and hot water problems were reportedly resolved during the HPD's response. A food poisoning incident was reported in July 2019, and subsequent rodent inspections showed mixed results, with the building failing an initial inspection in April 2019 for unspecified reasons but passing compliance inspections in May 2019 and previous years from 2010 through 2017, suggesting that pest control measures were generally effective.

The building's documented issues suggest a pattern of plumbing and heating system challenges, particularly in early 2023, though most complaints have been addressed and closed without resulting violations. The property's relatively recent construction (2006) means it is subject to modern building codes, and while there have been maintenance concerns, regular inspections and prompt reporting through 311 services indicate active management of the property. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in March 2023, when multiple systems required attention, suggesting that this period represented a notable maintenance challenge for the building.
