149-20 90th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

149-20 90th Avenue is a 56-unit, 4-story New Law Single Room Occupancy building located in the Jamaica neighborhood, built in 1931 and currently owned by Michael Spicer. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with particular attention required to a heat/hot water problem reported in January 2025 and multiple complaints in late 2024 regarding windows, cabinets, and flooring.

While these complaints have been closed, it is worth noting that HPD was unable to complete inspections for the window, cabinet, and flooring issues. A more serious concern involves an active Department of Buildings (DOB) environmental violation from February 2024 regarding tampered door zone restrictors with a penalty of $6,250. The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues, including elevator problems in early 2024 (with one violation served), though both elevator complaints were ultimately closed without violations at the time of inspection.

The building's bedbug reporting history is reassuring, showing zero infestations or related issues reported across the last five filing periods, from 2019 through 2023. Additionally, the property has maintained a good record in terms of rodent inspections, passing all four annual inspections conducted between 2010 and 2014. While there have been various complaints and violations, many have been addressed and closed, though the recent heating issue and the active door restrictor violation may require continued monitoring.
