145-42 Princeton Street, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 145-42 Princeton Street in Jamaica, built in 1920, has experienced significant vacancy-related issues over the past several years, with the most recent records showing ongoing concerns as of 2025. The property went through multiple vacant building inspections between 2019 and 2022, with several resulting in violations for being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded." A particular pattern emerged in 2019, when multiple complaints were filed between January and June regarding the building's vacant status, leading to a formal violation for accessible openings that could allow unauthorized entry.

While some of these violations were later dismissed, the building became a subject of multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints, particularly during 2019, when construction work raised concerns though no violations were substantiated upon inspection. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene was involved in early 2019 regarding rodent conditions, suggesting potential sanitation issues, though the final resolution of this complaint is not specified in the records.

A notable recent development occurred in 2022, when a vacant building violation was recorded and resulted in an Oath Violation being served. However, there are records indicating that as of September 2024, at least one of the vacancy orders was fully rescinded. Throughout this period, the property has maintained its classification as a two-family dwelling under the ownership of 145-42 106 Ave LLC, though the repeated vacancy issues and associated violations suggest ongoing challenges with building security and maintenance compliance.
