196-23 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11423

This 2-family house located at 196-23 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, Queens, and owned by Aslim Isakh, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2019, with the most recent being a heat/hot water complaint in February 2024 that was resolved the following day. The building has a concerning pattern of heating system problems, with three separate heat/hot water complaints in late 2022, two of which were categorized as emergencies, and one in June 2022 involving electrical lighting issues.

A significant pattern of building maintenance issues was documented in 2019, including violations for water leaks around a skylight in apartment 2F (open violation) and a window frame issue (resolved), along with reports of mold that summer. Two serious violations remain notable: as of June 2022, apartment 2R was cited for having a defective electrical receptacle and mouse infestation, both requiring proper repairs to achieve compliance.

More recently, in September 2024, the building received a violation for failure to file the 2023 external low pressure inspection, which remains active as of the latest available data. The building's history shows three distinct heat/hot water events in late 2022, including one inspection where HPD could not gain access to verify the complaint. Despite these numerous issues, the building's bedbug reports from 2019-2021 show no infestations, with all counts for infested, eradicated, and re-infested units recorded as zero during the reporting periods.
