148-24 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 148-24 97th Avenue in Jamaica, built in 1931 and currently owned by Clinton Graham, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Between April 2022 and February 2023, the building faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including persistent pest problems and mold, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) during these complaints did not result in any violations.

More recently, in 2024, the property was cited for serious facade maintenance issues, receiving a violation for the front facade and right side of the building, noting problems with running cracks, eroding bricks, and missing mortar. This violation, which carried a penalty of $625, was resolved with no balance due.

The building's recent history shows some improvement regarding pest management, as demonstrated by the bedbug inspection reports from 2022 through 2025, which show zero infestation cases during three consecutive reporting periods since 2023. Rodent inspections in 2014 showed a mix of results, with one passing and one failing for unspecified reasons. While there have been multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions in the building, the absence of violations from official inspections suggests that many reported issues may have been addressed promptly, though the repeated nature of these complaints indicates ongoing maintenance challenges.
