216-20 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

This two-family home at 216-20 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Susamma Abraham, was built in 1931 and has experienced numerous heating system-related issues in recent years. Most notably, between January and March 2025, there were seven separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with multiple inspections being unable to gain access to verify the conditions. An open Class C violation from March 2023 specifically cites inadequate heat supply in Apartment 2R.

The building also has a history of water-related maintenance concerns, with multiple violations from June 2022 affecting Apartment 2R, including problematic plumbing in the kitchen and bathroom, ceiling water leaks, and window frame issues, though many of these violations were subsequently closed. The property's mechanical systems have raised significant regulatory concerns, particularly regarding boiler maintenance compliance. There are multiple active violations from 2023-2024 related to the failure to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports, with active penalties totaling $3,125.

These violations span several years, indicating a pattern of non-compliance with annual inspection requirements. While there was one appliance-related complaint in June 2022 regarding the electric/gas range, no violations were issued from this complaint. The persistent heating system issues in early 2025, combined with the open water-related violations and multiple years of unfiled boiler inspection reports, suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance.
