170-40 Henley Road, Queens, NY 11432

The six-story, 27-unit residential building at 170-40 Henley Road in Jamaica Estates, currently owned by Leonard Scarola, has experienced recurring heating issues over the past three years, with emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water reported in January 2025, January 2024, and November 2022. While these situations were eventually resolved, they indicate an ongoing concern with the building's heating system.

Additional infrastructure issues have been documented, including a plumbing water supply incident in February 2022 and an elevator service disruption in July 2023, which resulted in an ECB violation regarding ambient temperature control in the machine room. This was marked as resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with the bedbug reporting system showing zero affected units in the past seven consecutive years from 2019 to 2025.

There were two DOB violations (in July 2020 and October 2021) related to elevator services, both of which were resolved by early 2022. The property has undergone regular inspections and has generally maintained compliance with housing codes, though the repeated heat and hot water issues suggest some challenges with building system maintenance. While the heating system problems are concerning, the absence of other significant health or safety violations and the consistent pest control compliance may provide some reassurance regarding overall building conditions.
