155-01 90th Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The 114-unit, 6-story residential building at 155-01 90th Avenue in Jamaica, currently owned by Maria Valente, has faced multiple maintenance challenges in recent years. The most pressing concerns have emerged in 2025, with repeated issues regarding heat/hot water (May 2025), plumbing (April 2025), and multiple instances of various maintenance complaints that required HPD inspections but resulted in no access being granted to inspectors. These incidents followed a pattern established in 2023, where multiple complaints about water leaks, ceiling issues, and other maintenance problems were similarly closed due to lack of access for inspections.

In 2024, the building underwent inspections that revealed several Class B violations related to missing concrete landing pads at fire escape drop ladders, though these were certified as corrected by mid-2024. The building has experienced some concerning patterns regarding building system maintenance and resident access to essential services. The most recent heating and hot water complaint in May 2025, which HPD could not verify due to lack of access, adds to a concerning pattern.

Additionally, there were violations, primarily Class C, requiring repairs to self-closing doors in compactor closets across various building levels during 2024. An illegal conversion complaint filed in early 2025 remains active as of May 2025, though a previous similar complaint from 2020 resulted in an Oath Violation being served. Notably, the building has maintained a pest-free record for the past three years, with no bedbug infestations reported since 2020, though there was one documented infestation affecting 7 units at that time. Rodent inspections have generally passed, with only a "rat activity" finding in late 2024 being particularly noteworthy among recent inspections.
