20-32 160th Street, Queens, NY 11357

The two-family house at 20-32 160th Street in Whitestone, owned by Paul Savino, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in early 2024 when multiple complaints were filed on February 12th, resulting in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During this inspection period, violations were documented for carbon monoxide detector compliance, window pane condition, and water supply plumbing issues, while other complaints regarding smoke detectors, wall and ceiling surfaces, cabinets, and window guard status were addressed with no violations issued. An earlier incident in July 2023 also involved a smoke detector issue that was subsequently resolved.

The building, constructed in 1965, is a single-story structure containing two units, and while many of the recent complaints were categorized as emergencies, they were all closed reasonably promptly within one to three days of reporting, with the majority resolving through HPD inspections that found either no violations or addressed the specific issues. It's worth noting that the frequency of safety-related complaints, particularly regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, suggests ongoing monitoring of safety equipment is required, though it's important to emphasize that not all complaints resulted in violations being issued.
