City orders South Jamaica hoarder to remove mountains of trash in front of her house after over ten years of neighbors complaints went ignored

PIX News

 The house on 118th Avenue in Jamaica, Queens is well known in the surrounding area.

The front and back yards are filled with trash bags, household items and old stuff.
Neighbors say they have been complaining about it and reporting conditions to the city for more than a decade and a half.

This week, after a recent inspection the Department of Buildings issued a vacate order.

“The home at 154-22 118th Avenue has been a long standing problem,” said NYC Council Member Adrienne Adams. “My team has appealed to various city agencies and have made a recent push to attack this problem collectively. By law we must respect the rights of the homeowner but we are looking into all options to remediate this problem. This home is not just a blight to the community but serves as a potential danger to the residents nearby and must be addressed immediately.”
 
Councilmember Adams office says the resident and the city will clean up the property on Friday.
Records with the Department of Buildings Show violations going back to 2001 and fines of more than $300,000.

They take way to long to take action. The city is slow as shit when it comes to things except giving out parking tickets.

Why were ten years' worth of complaints ignored? Oh, that's right, all the elected officials are Democrats.

She has been allowed to get away with this because she's an immigrant and she's brown.
Look at who the inspectors are, they're from her country.

This woman is creating hell for her neighbors - it's a microcosm of what the invaders are doing to our city. Destroying it.

All you rah rah multi culti DWL's - why don't you go over and clean up her house and yard?

This area is known to be a heavy drugdealing area I wont be surprised if this house was used to make drugs.

Funny, your car is parked a minute after the meter expires and you get a ticket.

Why are they taking away that woman's treasure? She was saving those bottles and cans for years. Is the city going to reimburse her? Now she will come back home and all her treasures will be gone. That's not right.

The guy who owns the place? Drug dealer or meth lab. Something is really not right, what about those years of violations? Doesn't the City seize the property if they rack up unpaid like that?
