180-05 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family residence at 180-05 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, owned by Joel Bedassie, has a notable history of Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) food establishment-related complaints between 2020 and 2024, including multiple instances of rodent/insect/garbage issues and letter grading matters. Most concerning was a food poisoning complaint in October 2022 involving three or more cases, though health officials deemed it an isolated incident.

The building experienced two inspection-related incidents in recent years: a failure to maintain complaint in February 2023, which resulted in no violations, and a construction enforcement work order in June 2021 that also found no violations upon inspection. The property has faced regulatory action regarding unauthorized signage, with a violation issued in November 2021 concerning two illegal business awnings (including one for "El Patio Bar & Restaurant Corp.") that resulted in a $625 penalty, though records indicate this was resolved.

While many complaints between 2020 and 2023 have been administratively closed with issues presumably addressed, the frequency and nature of DOHMH complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and compliance, particularly regarding food establishment operations. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and dual-family configuration are consistent with its historical status as a two-story residential structure.
