86-20 Kingston Place, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 86-20 Kingston Place in Jamaica Estates, owned by Fayazur Jewel, was constructed in 2005 and has experienced several maintenance challenges over the years, with the most significant ongoing issue being recurring hot water problems. Most recently, between August 2023 and April 2024, there have been multiple heat/hot water complaints, including one from August 2023 that revealed issues with both hot and cold water supply in the third-floor apartment, along with pest infestation problems. The building is currently facing several open violations from the August 2023 inspection, including inadequate hot water supply, roach infestation, and issues with encumbrances in public areas.

The building's safety features have also been a concern, with a September 2023 violation noting a broken or defective sprinkler head in the third-story public hall. Historically, the building has dealt with multiple heat and hot water complaints, particularly in 2019-2020, along with pest control issues documented in late 2019. A 2020 zoning complaint regarding the lack of planting area at the front of the building was resolved with an oath violation served.

The property has undergone periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent report (July 2024) showing two previously infested units that were eradicated, with no re-infestation reported. While some violations have been addressed and closed, including those related to carbon monoxide detection and sprinkler maintenance, the persistence of water supply and pest issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building class is designated as "HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A," indicating its status as a legitimate Class A multiple dwelling.
