180-17 Jamaica Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The two-story, 2-unit residential building at 180-17 Jamaica Avenue in Hollis, owned by Isa Kohly, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2023, with multiple complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water documented between February and December, including emergency-level complaints. The building has faced significant maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly in December 2023, when multiple violations were issued regarding unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches) in the second-floor apartment (2R), which also faced violations for inadequate heat supply and missing carbon monoxide detectors.

The building entrance door issues were addressed with violations issued in December 2023 for defective self-closing doors and inadequate security, while various other building maintenance violations were documented, including inadequate vestibule lighting and incorrect heating system access information. Despite these concerning maintenance issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations over the past several years, with the most recent bedbug report (July 2025) showing zero infested units for the current reporting period and all previous periods since 2019 also showing no infestation cases.

The property has a history of 311 complaints that have typically resulted in closed status, though there were instances in late 2023 where HPD inspections were unable to gain access to the building to verify heat and hot water conditions. While some violations from December 2023 have been certified as corrected, including issues with the building entrance door and vestibule frame, the frequency and nature of the heating system complaints throughout 2023 suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges.
