170-25 Highland Avenue, Queens, NY 11432
The 31-unit, 6-story building at 170-25 Highland Avenue in Jamaica Estates, owned by Nicola Pinnetti and built in 1938, has experienced several recurring issues, particularly in the past two years. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of pest problems, including two unsanitary conditions related to pests in late 2024, and a sequence of complaints regarding indoor air quality and smoking in smoke-free areas in late 2024.
The building has a documented history of elevator-related violations, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" between 2018 and 2025, though most recent investigations found no violations. There are also several active violations regarding building safety requirements, including improper emergency notifications and documentation regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures, dating back to 2020. Recent maintenance issues include a heating and hot water outage in March 2023, unsanitary garbage/recycling storage complaints in 2024, and a plumbing issue involving toilets in April 2024.
The building has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from December 2024 indicating one infested unit. The property has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency reporting, with failure to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores documented between 2019 and 2022. While some violations have been resolved or dismissed, including elevator repair issues in 2024 that resulted in penalties of $3,125 each for two separate violations, other concerns persist and show a pattern of ongoing maintenance and safety-related challenges that affect resident quality of life and safety.
