144-32 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The 6-unit, 4-story residential building at 144-32 Liberty Avenue in Jamaica, constructed in 2018 and currently owned by 144 Liberty LLC, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over its short history. Most recently, in early 2023, there was a confirmed incident of inadequate heating that required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and a food poisoning complaint was filed in December 2022.

The Department of Buildings (DOB) records show multiple inspections and complaints between 2020 and 2023, including three gas utility referrals in early 2023, plumbing issues, and several Construction Safety Compliance (CSE) sweeps. While many of these complaints resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection, there was one notable instance of a completed Oath Violation served in May 2021. The building experienced significant inspection activity during its early years, with multiple CSE sweeps and compliance checks between 2020-2021.

Two immediately hazardous violations were recorded in late 2019 and 2020, though these were ultimately dismissed in May 2022. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record in recent bedbug inspections, with reports from 2024 and 2025 showing no infested dwelling units, though there were records of 7 and 6 units requiring eradication in the previous two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). The building's relative youth shows a pattern of addressing initial construction and compliance issues, with no significant recent violations or complaints as of 2024-2025, though the heating issue from early 2023 remains notable in terms of resident comfort concerns.
