168-66 93rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11433

The four-story residential building at 168-66 93rd Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Paul Gomes, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2004, most notably in recent years. As of October 2024, there are multiple open violations related to door security, including problems with the entrance door to the street and vestibule door locks, as well as an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock at the building's front entrance. The building has also faced recurring rodent infestations, with multiple inspections in 2023-2024 showing rat activity and the application of bait.

Prior to these violations, the property experienced significant heat and hot water system problems in late 2021 and early 2022, affecting the entire building and individual apartments, though most of these issues were eventually resolved. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple code violations over the years, including an active heavy water leak complaint filed in June 2025 and violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2022-2024. In early 2022, there were documented pest infestations (mice and roaches) in Apartment 1.

The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency complaints requiring inspection, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and various door/window issues. Of particular note is the building's recent electrical activity, with multiple emergency door-related complaints and a heavy water leak complaint remaining open as of mid-2025. The Department of Buildings has recorded several complaints regarding potential illegal conversions, though inspectors were often unable to gain access for verification.
