90-25 170th Street, Queens, NY 11432

90-25 170th Street is a 4-story, 8-unit residential building in Jamaica, Queens, owned by East Elmhurst Development Corp. The property, constructed in 2007, has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly during 2023, with multiple 311 complaints related to unsanitary conditions and pests in September 2023. Most notably, Apartment 1B has been the focus of multiple housing maintenance code violations in recent inspections, particularly in September 2023.

These violations include issues with door conditions, plastered surfaces, flooring, pest infestation (specifically roaches), and several safety concerns such as defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, missing window guards, and a problematic secondary means of egress door. The apartment also requires various repairs including bathroom door replacement, floor repairs, and electrical work. The building has documented rodent activity throughout its history, with particularly notable activity in 2023.

Multiple bait applications were conducted between July and October 2023, though inspections during this period indicated persistent rodent presence. The property has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across multiple reporting periods from 2017 through the present, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. While some violations have been addressed and certified as corrected (as of October 2023), including various safety system repairs in Apartment 1B, the building's recent history shows ongoing challenges with pest management and maintenance compliance.
