A small fire broke out in a six‑unit apartment building owned by the Stamatos family in Jamaica Plain on November 2, 2026. The blaze caused structurally unstable rear walls, prompting officials to evacuate all residents.
The incident marks the second fire affecting a Stamatos property within a month, following a six‑alarm fire at the historic Edison building in Nubian Square on September 28, 2026. The family, which purchased the Jamaica Plain building in 2018 and also owns other properties in Jamaica Plain and Roxbury, previously experienced a fire in 2020 that triggered two alarms.
