220-25 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

The two-family house at 220-25 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Pritpal Walia, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, there is an ongoing concern with pest infestations, particularly in Apartment 2, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests and open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to mouse infestations.

The building has also faced substantial maintenance challenges, including lead paint hazards requiring remediation, window frame issues, and various unsanitary conditions documented in 2024 inspections. These violations, some categorized as Class B and C, indicate serious safety concerns that require prompt attention. The property has had recent heating issues, with a reported lack of heat and hot water in October 2024, though these problems were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

In addition to these health and safety concerns, the building has multiple active Department of Buildings violations for failure to file required high-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2023, suggesting potential maintenance oversight related to building systems verification. While there have been some resolved issues, such as window repairs and cabinet concerns from earlier inspections, the persistence of pest problems and the presence of unaddressed lead paint hazards in Apartment 2 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. A rodent inspection conducted in December 2024 reportedly passed, though this follows numerous previous complaints regarding pest infestations throughout the observation period.
