214-21 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

The two-family house at 214-21 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Steve Eftimiades, is a 2-story building constructed in 1931 that contains 3 units. The property has experienced several significant regulatory interactions over the past few years, particularly between 2018 and 2021. Multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions were filed in July 2018, though one resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

In 2018, an environmental control board violation was issued for unpermitted construction of a stairway to the cellar on the first floor, which remains active with a $500 penalty balance due. The building's certificate of occupancy status was questioned in January 2019, and while there were no violations found during inspections in 2019 and 2021 related to tenant safety or occupancy issues, these concerns indicate ongoing monitoring by regulatory agencies. More recently, in 2019, a complaint regarding an unlicensed food establishment was filed and administratively closed in 2024, though it's unclear from the records whether this was related to the building itself.

A permit for electrical work was issued in March 2021, following an application filed in October 2020. The property's regulatory history suggests a period of scrutiny regarding unauthorized modifications and occupancy matters, particularly around 2018-2019, though subsequent inspections have not substantiated any violations related to these concerns. The most recent active violation related to unpermitted work dates back to 2018, which should be noted given the property's 1931 construction date and potential historical significance.
