90-17 169th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 90-17 169th Street in Jamaica, owned by Jorge Rodriguez and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with three separate complaints in 2025 alone (January and February) regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems. The building has a documented history of these heating issues, including a similar complaint in February 2022 where restoration was confirmed by a tenant.

Additional maintenance concerns were noted in January 2021, including problems with walls (paint/plaster), water leaks, unsanitary mold conditions, and another heat/hot water complaint, though inspections did not result in violations for most of these issues. The building has been subject to several Bedbug Reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in the most recent filing from July 2025. A Class B housing maintenance violation related to mold in the bathroom of Apartment 2R was issued in January 2021, though most other violations from that period (including issues with radiator air valves) were classified as A or C and subsequently closed.

The property has maintained compliance with rodent control requirements, passing inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2014. Regular annual bedbug reporting requirements have been met, with the most recent filings showing no active infestations as of July 2025. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has repeatedly faced challenges accessing units for inspections during heat/hot water complaints in 2025, which has been noted in multiple closed complaint resolutions.
