106-25 153rd Street, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 106-25 153rd Street in Jamaica, owned by Norene Farmer, has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during 2018-2024. Most notably, in the summer of 2018, multiple reports were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold, pests, and roofing issues, with inspection attempts by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being denied access.

More serious concerns emerged in 2021 when the property was cited for multiple violations including illegal cellar modifications creating approximately five rooms with electrical installations, and various structural issues such as missing windows and sheetrock. These violations led to several Environmental Control Board (ECB) citations throughout 2021-2022 for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner and for not filing required correction certifications, though all these violations were eventually resolved or dismissed with no penalties imposed. The building's more recent history (2023-2024) shows relatively fewer complaints, with the last two complaints in 2024 regarding a sweep and boiler issues being found without violations during inspection.

Notably, there were multiple construction-related complaints in 2021 that were either unsubstantiated or resulted in no violations being found. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, most of the significant violations appear to have been addressed, with no active violations showing as of 2024. The building's 1993 construction date and two-story design remain consistent with its classification as a two-family house.
