90-11 149th Street, Queens, NY 11435

The 6-story building at 90-11 149th Street in Jamaica, owned by Rafael Marte, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent years, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in both apartments and throughout the building between 2024 and 2025. The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including water leaks, mold issues, and pest infestations, with several emergency complaints filed regarding unsanitary conditions.

In the 5th and 6th floors, violations have been documented for various maintenance issues, including problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, roof leaks, window damage, and insufficient gas supply in kitchen appliances. The building has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with multiple units affected between 2019 and 2024, though all reported cases have been marked as eradicated.

Rodent inspections in recent years have shown mixed results, with some inspections passing and others failing for "Other Reasons." The property has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding its energy efficiency reporting requirements, receiving violations for failing to file benchmarking reports and display energy efficiency scores between 2019 and 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed. A 2024 complaint regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy status remains active as of March 2025. While maintenance issues have been reported and addressed through various channels, including the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Department of Buildings (DOB), there are ongoing concerns about building systems and unit conditions that continue to require attention.
