178-20 Selover Road, Queens, NY 11434

The three-story, three-unit building at 178-20 Selover Road in Jamaica, owned by Ebikabdere Jituboh, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025. The property has ongoing violations from a July 2024 inspection of Apartment 1, with open violations related to pest infestations (mice, roaches, and flies), plumbing problems (bathtub/shower issues and water leaks), window damage, and unauthorized alterations including suspended acoustic ceilings.

The building has also experienced persistent infrastructure problems, with multiple complaints in 2025 regarding heat/hot water, electrical wiring issues, water supply problems, and various plumbing matters, many of which could not be properly investigated due to lack of access during HPD inspections. The building has open violations from October 2024 inspections addressing both exterior and interior maintenance, including a defective cornice on the third story and broken paving in the front yard. In terms of electrical and plumbing systems, the building has faced recurring issues, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints regarding lighting and power outages.

Additionally, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from November 2022 regarding improper parking, with a $500 penalty still due. While there have been some resolved complaints, particularly a properly investigated range issue in May 2025, the overall pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The age of the building (constructed in 1920) combined with these recurring issues indicates potential difficulties in maintaining basic housing standards, though specific regulatory compliance statuses beyond this summary are not available in the provided data.
