212-24 Murdock Avenue, Queens, NY 11429

The two-family house at 212-24 Murdock Avenue in Cambria Heights, built in 1930 and currently owned by Shauntel Jenkins-Jordan, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years, particularly in 2019. The property faced multiple violations related to unpermitted work, including electrical and plumbing modifications.

In May 2019, there were inspections revealing defective and exposed electrical wiring, which led to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation for using unapproved electrical equipment and materials, with specific concerns about improper electrical raceway installation. That same month, unauthorized installation of new A/C compressors and electrical components also resulted in an ECB violation. The property continued to have compliance issues with unpermitted work in July 2019, involving the removal of water, waste, and gas lines, for which an ECB violation was issued with a $1,250 penalty.

Following these incidents, there was a failure to promptly certify corrections of an immediately hazardous ECB violation in October 2019, though this particular violation was later dismissed in November. The building was able to obtain proper permits for some work, with plumbing and electrical permits issued in March 2019 and January 2023, respectively. The January 2023 electrical work permit (job number 440762364) indicates that the property has taken steps towards proper compliance with building codes in recent months.
