146-29 Tuskegee Airmen Way, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 146-29 Tuskegee Airmen Way in Jamaica, currently owned by Samuel Darkwah, has experienced several significant incidents since 2021, with the most serious being a fire in June 2021 that caused damage to walls, sheathing, wood studs, stairs, and roof elements. This fire incident led to multiple violations that are still listed as active, though repairs were reportedly completed between August and September 2021.

Throughout February 2021, the building experienced widespread maintenance issues including heating problems, electrical outages, and appliance failures, though inspections generally found no violations. More recently, in 2024, there were two notable construction-related violations involving safety issues with scaffolding and guardrails, with one violation incurring a $5,000 penalty related to proximity to power lines. The building has undergone various inspections and work in recent years, including a failed initial rodent inspection in February 2024, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed.

Three Department of Buildings violations remain active as of 2025, tied to the 2021 fire incident and subsequent repairs. The property has seen multiple inspection and compliance activities, including three recent Department of Buildings complaints between 2023 and 2025 relating to wall stability and construction work, though these were ultimately resolved with no violations found. The building's history shows a pattern of electrical and heating system issues, particularly during the winter of 2021, though these problems appeared to be addressed through subsequent complaints.
