13-64 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11691

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 13-64 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, built in 2005 and currently owned by 1364 Beach Channel Dr LLC, has experienced several noteworthy maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in April 2024, multiple health and safety concerns emerged simultaneously, including apartments with documented pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches in Unit 2 on the 2nd story), wall damage requiring repairs, and various appliance-related problems.

The building also received violations for failing to maintain proper building safety notices, including those related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. An open violation remains regarding the posting of heating system access information. In April 2024, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections resulting in both violations and cleared complaints, though most notably, violations were issued for walls requiring paint/plaster repairs and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

The building's history shows consistent monitoring and reporting of conditions, with regular bedbug report filings from 2019 through 2025 indicating no infestations during these periods. Previous rodent inspections in 2017-2018 showed one failure for "Other Reasons," though subsequent inspections passed. While recent years have seen persistent maintenance issues, particularly in 2024, the building has maintained an active record of addressing and reporting violations, with many recent issues having been officially closed through appropriate remediation as of May 2024.
