Honourable owners and residents of the apartments of LibertyStreet


Thanks!

'Honourable' sounds silly there. Is this a speech or a greeting in a letter? Are some of the residents not owners?

It doesn't sound at all idiomatic for the 21st century. Maybe several centuries ago.

CalifJim use "in Liberty Street" (British) or "on Liberty Street" (American). (Not "of".)
...unless 'Liberty Street' is the name of the housing development.
