162-01 Highland Avenue, Queens, NY 11432
162-01 Highland Avenue is a four-story, eight-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Joan Lawless. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a Day Care Facility complaint investigated by the DOHMH in 2022-2025. The building had significant problems in 2020, including multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions, pest infestations, and various maintenance issues such as problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, plumbing concerns, and flooring defects.
These issues led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code Violations, particularly affecting apartment C2 on the third story, where problems with pests, water damage, and safety systems were documented. More recent building inspections in 2024 revealed a violation regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though the building has maintained a consistent record of zero confirmed bedbug infestations from 2018 through 2024. The building's infrastructure has faced challenges as well, with several Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations related to the boiler system and roof maintenance between 2018 and 2021.
These included issues with chimney cleanouts, pipe supports, and roof parapet conditions, though most of these violations have been resolved. A heat and hot water emergency in 2018 was reportedly resolved quickly, and there have been no recent complaints about these systems. The property has maintained up-to-date bedbug reporting compliance from 2019 through 2024, showing proactive monitoring of this specific issue. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges in the past, most recent complaints and violations have been addressed, though the 2024 bedbug reporting violation indicates a potential administrative oversight.
