149-14 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 149-14 Jamaica Avenue, owned by Yu Zhang, is a 2-story residential building constructed in 1920 in the Jamaica neighborhood.

The property has recently come under scrutiny for multiple unresolved Department of Buildings violations, with active citations issued in June 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspection reports for the years 2018-2020, and a similar violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. These outstanding violations, particularly concerning low-pressure systems and boiler inspections, present potential safety and maintenance concerns given their recent history and active status.

The building's maintenance history shows regular rodent inspections from 2010 to 2014, all of which were passed, suggesting that while the property has maintained basic pest control standards in the past, there has been a lack of compliance with more recent safety inspections, especially regarding pressure systems and boiler maintenance. The two-family structure, typical of the era, remains fundamentally as-built, though the documented violations indicate a concerning trend of incomplete regulatory compliance that has developed over multiple years.
