217-21 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

The two-family residence at 217-21 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Dhanpaul Naraine, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in late 2023. In October 2023, the building had multiple simultaneous complaints involving heavy water flow, electrical switch issues, cabinet and ceiling plaster problems, and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and closed without any violations being issued. In terms of compliance matters, the building received three violations in June 2023 for failing to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019, 2020, and 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed in September 2023. Prior to these recent issues, the building had several health-related complaints in 2021-2022, including two incidents of vaccine mandate non-compliance and a food poisoning case in 2022 that was deemed an isolated incident.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding vermin infestations, with no reported bedbug cases in the past five years (2019-2024) and a passed rodent inspection in February 2019. A complaint regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring was received in September 2022 but was closed shortly thereafter without violations being warranted. While the recent cluster of maintenance issues in October 2023 is notable, it's worth mentioning that these were all addressed and closed by mid-November 2023 without any violations being cited.
