186-17 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11423

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 186-17 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, owned by Waitak Lau, has recorded several significant maintenance events since its construction in 2005. Most notably, there are ongoing heating system issues that began in late 2022 and continued into 2023, with multiple violations still marked as open as of April 2024.

These violations include inadequate heating supply to the third-floor apartment, locked access to the boiler room in the basement, and missing notices regarding heating system access instructions. The building has also experienced periodic bedbug reporting requirements, with inspections in 2021, 2022, and 2023 showing the need for compliance with annual bedbug reporting regulations.

While the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2022, filed in June 2023, indicated no infested units, the building's history shows consistent attention required to maintain compliance with this particular regulation. Additional maintenance issues have been documented, including a general maintenance complaint in early 2023 regarding janitorial conditions, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. The building's relatively recent construction (2005) and the presence of only three units suggest a smaller scale operation, though the persistent heating system issues and regulatory compliance requirements indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
