Augrented Insights Report for 172-70 Highland Avenue

172-70 Highland Avenue is a 7-story, 141-unit residential building located in Jamaica Estates, owned by Ndre Deda and constructed in 1958. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, most recently in February 2024 when an emergency complaint was filed regarding no heat or hot water affecting the entire building. The property faced significant safety concerns in 2023, including violations related to smoke detector compliance and emergency procedures.

Multiple violations were issued in August 2023 regarding safety systems, including the need to repair self-closing doors, install proper carbon monoxide detection requirements, and address various fire safety issues. The building's maintenance history shows several infrastructure concerns, including a cooking gas-related emergency in April 2023, mosquito and mold issues in July 2023, and various elevator maintenance matters. Environmental Control Board records from 2020 indicate a $1,250 penalty regarding door lock monitoring for passenger safety, though this was resolved.

The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting, with only one infested unit reported in 2022-2023 and none in the most recent 2023-2024 period. While there have been multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations and complaints over the years, many were resolved promptly, including several related to heating systems where residents reported restored services during inspections. The building appears to have resolved earlier concerns regarding elevator safety, gas utility compliance, and various fire safety measures, as indicated by closed violations and dismissed charges.
