164-40 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The 10-story building at 164-40 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Chandresh Patel and constructed in 2007, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its recent history. Most notably, there have been four separate heating and hot water emergencies affecting the entire building between 2018 and 2020, which represent a recurring infrastructure concern.

The building's elevator system has also experienced notable problems, with multiple complaints regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service in late 2018, including at least six related complaints filed between October and November 2018, with one resulting in an Oath Violation in early 2020 that was ultimately dismissed. More recent issues include a plumbing water supply complaint in early 2023, which was investigated by HPD with no violations found, and an unsafe façade notification under LL11/98 filed in March 2023.

The building has maintained a clean pest control record in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2023-2025), and there was no indication of any illegal conversions following a 2018 inspection. The property has been responsive to various regulatory requirements, though there were three violations in 2021-2022 related to filing requirements for FISP Cycle 9A reports and energy efficiency display requirements, all of which were subsequently dismissed.
