220-16 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11428

The property at 220-16 Jamaica Avenue in Queens Village is a two-story, 1998-built building currently owned by Vinod Chadha. The building has experienced several recurring issues over the past few years, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025, when both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water issues throughout the entire building, though these complaints were ultimately closed without finding any housing law violations.

Notably, there is an active Housing Maintenance Code violation from April 2024 related to the failure to file the annual bedbug report, continuing a pattern from previous years where similar violations were recorded in 2021, 2022, and 2023. The building has a history of various maintenance and safety concerns, including multiple Elevator-related issues between 2019-2021, with violations related to single device operation and door lock monitoring safety features. Between 2018-2021, there were multiple documented electrical issues, including concerns about defective/exposed wiring, improper electrical installations, and violations during semi-annual homeless shelter inspections.

The building also had plumbing-related issues in 2018 that resulted in violations. Environmental Control Board violations from 2019-2021 highlight continued maintenance challenges, including problems with outdoor equipment access, emergency lighting, electrical system labeling, and various safety requirements. While the building's rodent inspections show a mix of passing and failing results between 2016 and 2020, the most recent bedbug report for the period ending October 2022 indicated no infested or re-infested dwelling units.
