Augrented Insights Report for 164-20 Highland Avenue

164-20 Highland Avenue in Jamaica Hills is an 8-story, 165-unit residential building constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Neil Davidowitz. The property has experienced recurring heating issues, with multiple heat and hot water complaints registered in early 2025 (February and January) and late 2024 (November), affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

October 2024 saw several complaints regarding ventilation systems, water leaks, and various interior issues including cabinets, walls, and plaster conditions. Two significant open violations were issued in October 2024 related to lead paint hazards and ventilation problems in Apartment 1P, along with multiple interior maintenance issues including repairs needed for floors, cabinets, walls, and ceilings. The building has a concerning history of elevator maintenance issues, with violations recorded in 2019 and 2020 regarding door lock monitoring and service requirements, though these were later resolved.

There were also multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to energy benchmarking requirements in 2021-2022. While the building appears to be free of pest issues in recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations since 2019 and a failed rodent inspection in 2009-2010, the current pattern of heating and maintenance complaints suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property management has generally addressed violations within the required timeframes, though some recent complaints remain unresolved.
