Augrented Insights Report for 170-40 Highland Avenue

170-40 Highland Avenue is a 6-story, 50-unit residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by Marita Joseph in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns in 2024 including reports of mold (September), and multiple inspections in June 2024 revealing various problems such as window frame and pane issues, sewage concerns, fire escape conditions, and general maintenance needs. Two significant violations were issued in June 2024 related to the ceiling in the public hall on the 6th story and roofing issues, though these are noted as "Open" violations.

The building's history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, including open violations from 2022 regarding water leaks in Apartment 401 and ongoing concerns about the roof. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices from the Department of Buildings (DOB) and the Environmental Control Board (ECB). Notable recent violations include failure to file required technical reports for FISP Cycle 9C (2024) and a failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation (2023).

Earlier concerns involved elevator service issues, electrical wiring problems (2019), and various safety-related complaints. The building's sprinkler system and plumbing work came under scrutiny in late 2022, with one violation remaining active regarding unauthorized commercial gas dryers. Despite these ongoing maintenance issues, the building has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations or re-infestations between 2019 and 2024. Recent building inspections and maintenance requests indicate that while many issues have been addressed promptly with "no violations" being issued, there remain several active violations that require attention, particularly regarding building security and safety systems.
