220-31 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

The two-family house at 220-31 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Vishwanand Daramdas, has experienced significant maintenance issues during the past three years, particularly throughout 2022. December 2022 was a notably problematic month, with multiple complaints and violations recorded, including issues with window panes, window frames, door frames, plumbing (bathtub/shower), and electrical problems (power outages).

These concerns led to several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including a defective mechanical lock assembly at the building's front entrance and broken plastered surfaces in the 1st-story vestibule hall, though most of these violations were subsequently closed by December 21, 2022. Earlier in 2022 (July), there were additional complaints regarding slow water leaks and window safety concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the premises for verification. More recently, in September 2024, an active Department of Buildings violation was issued related to the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection.

Historical records show that both rodent inspections conducted in late 2013 and early 2014 resulted in failures for unspecified reasons, though there have been no documented rodent complaints or inspections since that time. The building's bedbug report from 2021 shows no infestations during the specified period from late 2019 to late 2020. While many of the 2022 issues were addressed and closed, the recent low-pressure inspection violation suggests some ongoing compliance concerns.
