90-38 170th Street, Queens, NY 11432
The six-story New Law Tenement at 90-38 170th Street in Jamaica, owned by Napa Partners LLC, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding plumbing and elevator systems. As of July 2025, there are multiple open and unresolved plumbing issues, including a recently reported bathtub/shower problem from June 2025. Between February and March 2025, the building faced numerous violations related to water leaks, mold, and interior maintenance, affecting multiple units (1E, 2B, 2E, 4A).
The building's elevator system has been a major concern, with at least ten complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between May and August 2024, leading to several Environmental Control Board violations. These elevator issues resulted in substantial penalties, with one violation from October 2024 still showing an active balance due of $12,500. The boiler system has also faced scrutiny, with violations from November 2024 regarding hazardous conditions. The property has undergone bedbug treatments between 2022-2023, with zero re-infestations reported for 2024, though there were 6 units affected in the initial filing period.
The building has a mixed history of rodent control, with some inspections showing rat activity in 2018, though more recent inspections in 2019 passed without issues. Recent housing maintenance code violations from 2024 include problems with bathroom fixtures and water supply systems in various apartments (1E, 2B, 2E, 4A), as well as interior maintenance issues such as plaster and paint problems. The building has been cited for failing to display required energy efficiency information, with violations dating back to 2020. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrections, several violations remain open as of June 2025, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
