The 145-23 Arlington Terrace property in Jamaica is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Dayawantie Persaud.

A series of violations from 2021 remains open, including multiple requirements to post safety notices in common areas regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements, gas leak procedures, and building registration information. Additionally, there is an open Class C violation from August 2021 concerning the need to arrange and make self-closing the entrance door to a third-story apartment. The building's history includes some concerning incidents in 2021, with emergency and non-emergency complaints received regarding cooking gas and flooring issues, both of which were closed the following day.

In August 2021, there was a Department of Buildings complaint about illegal conversion, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final two attempts in September 2022. An important violation was recorded regarding improper cellar usage, where the space was converted from ordinary storage to an apartment with kitchen and bathroom facilities, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed. A permit was issued in November 2021 for unspecified work. The property has demonstrated ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding safety notice requirements and pest management reporting, as evidenced by multiple open violations spanning from 2021 through 2024.
