The 2-story, 5-unit building at 1237 Beach Avenue in Soundview, built in 1930 and currently owned by Ishmeet Singh, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2025. These include multiple water leak incidents (one classified as "heavy flow"), door/window problems, and various interior maintenance issues such as paint/plaster concerns affecting ceilings and walls. Notably, there is currently one open Class C violation regarding self-closing doors and one Class B violation related to plastered surfaces and water leaks in Apartment 2F3, as well as ongoing pest control challenges with reports of rodent infestation.

The building's history reveals significant infrastructure and safety concerns between 2022-2023, including multiple heat/hot water complaints affecting the entire building, power outages, and plumbing issues that required emergency responses. There have also been confirmed pest issues, with violations regarding electrical work and construction without proper permits emerging in 2022. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate non-compliance with previous orders relating to electrical equipment and safety.

While recent inspections in 2024-2025 show some improvements, with no reported bedbug infestations and several code violations being resolved, the building continues to face challenges with building systems, including persistent issues with water leaks and interior maintenance that require ongoing attention. The property has undergone various inspections and service requests throughout 2022-2025, revealing a pattern of maintenance challenges that impact resident comfort and safety. Recent inspections have shown some positive progress, but several open violations and recurring maintenance issues suggest that the building requires continued oversight to ensure compliance with housing maintenance standards.
