169-18 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, two-family house at 169-18 Jamaica Avenue, built in 1931 and currently owned by Danny Yazdan, has undergone several significant maintenance and legal issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2020, the building faced multiple violations related to unauthorized conversions and occupancy, with inspections revealing the third floor contained five SROs (Single Room Occupancies) with shared kitchen facilities, resulting in multiple $2,500 fines. There were also serious safety concerns documented during this period, including allegations of electrical work without proper permits, inadequate means of egress, and building shaking/vibration complaints.

The building had documented roof leaks affecting multiple units on the third floor, with violations specifically noting problems in both 3FL and 3RDFL apartments. More recent maintenance history shows a gradual improvement in conditions, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2024 indicating three units required eradication treatment, though no current infestations were reported. The building passed routine rodent inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2014, suggesting some stability in pest management.

The property has maintained compliance with various regulatory requirements, though there were instances of delayed certification of corrections in 2020 that incurred additional penalties, which were ultimately resolved. The most recent bedbug filings indicate better management practices, with no reported infestations in the 2022-2023 period, though three units underwent eradication treatment. The building's overall condition appears to have stabilized since the numerous violations and complaints of 2020-2021, with fewer recent issues documented in the available records.
