178-02 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11432
The 131-unit, 8-story residential building at 178-02 Hillside Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Jeffrey Novick and constructed in 2017, is currently facing several maintenance issues as documented between 2024 and 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple recent complaints about pest infestations, with two emergency complaints filed in April 2025 that were closed due to lack of access for inspection, and similar complaints in March 2025. The building has also experienced ongoing issues with electric/gas ranges, with two open non-emergency complaints filed in June 2025, following several such complaints in 2024.
Apartment 806 has been a particular focus of maintenance concerns, with multiple violations documented in 2024 including issues with door hardware, hot water supply, electrical outlets, and plastered surfaces, though most of these violations have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure and safety concerns that have required attention over the past few years. These include a 2025 Tenant Safety Inspection that found no violations, a 2021 building shaking complaint that resulted in violations being served but was later dismissed, and some past elevator-related issues in 2023.
Environmental Control Board violations include a 2024 penalty for failure to submit a required parking structure report, and there have been multiple permit filings between 2019 and 2024 for various maintenance work, with the most recent permits issued for electrical work in 2024. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2022-2024), the recurring issues with pests, appliance malfunctions, and various maintenance violations suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. However, it's worth noting that many recent complaints have been closed with inspectors finding no violations of housing laws, though some issues remain open for further investigation and resolution.
