168-30 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11433

The 2-family house at 168-30 Liberty Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Jacob Munro, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between late 2024 and early 2025. The property has generated multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including pests and mold, as well as issues with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower, and appliance concerns about the electric/gas range.

All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between November 2024 and January 2025, but notably, no violations were issued for any of these complaints. Looking further back, the building had documented violations in November 2021 concerning a mouse infestation, lead-based paint hazards, and inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 1, though these were ultimately resolved.

The building has also faced issues with unauthorized modifications and parking violations: in 2020, there were violations for constructing an unpermitted wood frame overhead structure and illegally storing an unregistered vehicle on the front yard planting area, resulting in penalties of $1,280 each, though both violations were resolved. A permit was finally issued in February 2021 for unspecified work under job number 440656620. Despite the frequency of recent complaints, the lack of violations being issued suggests that while there are ongoing maintenance issues, they may not be classified as formal violations under housing regulations.
