147-19 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 147-19 Jamaica Avenue, owned by Harry Zubli, is a 2-story building constructed in 1931 in the Jamaica neighborhood of NYC. The property experienced significant heat and water-related issues in late 2018, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October 31 and November 10, 2018, regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, along with concerns about water leaks with heavy flow.

These complaints resulted in several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between November 1-9, 2018, though notably, several inspections could not gain access to units for verification purposes. During this period, violations were issued concerning a skylight leak in the second-floor hallway and scalding hot water conditions in apartment 2R. The building's maintenance record shows a violation for a broken or defective wood tread in the public hall stairs, 1st story, identified in November 2018.

In 2019, there was a violation for failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which was subsequently dismissed with a civil penalty of $1,000 paid. The property has demonstrated successful rodent control, passing inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2014. While the building has had multiple emergency complaints and violations over the years, particularly in late 2018, there have been no significant complaints or violations recorded in the more recent period leading up to 2025, suggesting an improvement in maintenance and management conditions.
