197-13 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11423
The two-family residence at 197-13 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, owned by Simon Ramsawak, has experienced recurring pest-related issues over recent years. Between 2019-2020, there were documented cases of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with two HPD complaints filed in October 2019 and January 2020, though inspections did not result in any violations.
Additionally, in October 2019, an emergency safety complaint regarding broken or missing window guards was filed, which also appears to have been resolved without resulting violations. More recent concerns include an active violation issued in June 2023 related to the failure to file the 2020 external low pressure inspection, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.
The Department of Buildings has documentation from October 2020 regarding an inspection of an inadequate or illegal fence, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the second final attempt. Historic records show a rodent inspection in June 2017, which resulted in a failure for unspecified reasons. The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a two-story, two-family house and has experienced persistent maintenance challenges over the past several years, particularly concerning pest control and safety features.
