Heavy open violations, severe heat complaint history, and persistent pest activity across the units.
A 16-unit Jamaica building sitting over commercial space, carrying 29 open housing violations — 19 of them in the immediately hazardous Class C tier. The overall record shows persistent heat outages alongside active mice and roach infestations inside units. Three things to know:
115 heat and hot water complaints on file. 115 heat and hot water complaints sit on the building's 311 history, including calls logged as recently as June 2026 for building-wide loss. When winter outages recur in pre-war properties, tenants are left dealing with cold spells season after season.
Active Class C orders for roaches, mice, and broken doors. Open Class C violations from July 2026 order the owner to abate roach and mouse infestations in Apt 2B. These sit alongside open orders to repair missing or defective self-closing entrance doors, which can compromise both building security and fire safety.
269 blocked driveway calls within three blocks over the last year. Within three blocks of the building, 269 blocked driveway complaints have been logged in the past 12 months, mostly for lost driveway access (224 calls). The block sees heavy vehicle friction, and the building itself carries an open report of illegal commercial use in a residential zone.
