163-02 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 163-02 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Shahriar Novel, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1910. Most recently, in February 2022, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint that was promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, with confirmation from tenants that services had been restored.

In 2020, two Department of Buildings complaints were filed regarding potential Certificate of Occupancy violations, though inspections either found no violations or resulted in a lack of access. A significant active violation remains from 2018 concerning unauthorized signage and an awning installed without proper permits for "MYMUM DELI & GROCERY," carrying a penalty of $1,250.

The building's maintenance record shows consistent pest control success, with three consecutive annual bedbug reports (2022-2024) indicating zero infestations, and documented rodent inspections in 2010, 2013, and 2014 all passing. While the heat and hot water issues in 2022 represent the only major maintenance concern in recent years, the building's overall record suggests regular upkeep and prompt response to most complaints, with no history of bedbug or rodent infestations in the past decade. The property, classified as a two-family house, has maintained its original building class designation throughout its history.
