Augrented Insights Report for 196-19 Jamaica Avenue

The two-family home at 196-19 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, built in 1931 and currently owned by Andra Mangal, has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues spanning several years. Most notably, there are currently six active violations related to the building's external low-pressure system inspections from 2018-2023, suggesting neglect of mandatory safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring electrical problems, with multiple power outage complaints recorded between 2019-2022, including an immediate emergency power outage in February 2022.

Multiple health and safety violations have been documented, particularly in 2021, including a pest infestation in apartment 2F and flooring issues, along with violations related to mice and roaches in apartment 2R during 2020-2021. The property has also faced serious safety concerns, including water temperature issues (162°F scalding water) in apartment 2R in 2020, and problems with carbon monoxide detection equipment in 2020. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of unresolved and recurring issues. For instance, there are open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2020-2021 regarding mouse infestations in apartment 2R, defective flooring in the kitchen of apartment 2F, and various electrical problems.

The property has been subject to multiple Department of Buildings violations, including several regarding electrical wiring defects, evidenced by a series of complaints from 2018-2019 that resulted in Oath Violations. Active Environmental Control Board violations from 2019 indicate unresolved electrical safety issues, including unsafe wiring and defective fixtures, with penalties totaling $64,000 that remain unpaid. Recent violations regarding failure to file annual inspections suggest ongoing regulatory non-compliance. The building's history shows a troubling pattern of inadequate maintenance response to critical safety issues, particularly in the areas of electrical systems, pest control, and mandatory safety inspections.
