13-66 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story multi-unit building at 13-66 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, owned by Erez Itzhakov, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly between February and March 2024. During this period, the building experienced multiple water leak incidents classified as "heavy flow," mold problems, pest infestations, appliance issues, and ceiling maintenance needs. Eight service requests were filed in March 2024 alone, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducting inspections but finding no violations in most cases, though one emergency water leak complaint from March 11, 2024, remains notable.

The building's most serious maintenance concerns appear to be concentrated in Apartment 3, where violations were documented in February 2024 regarding pest infestations, window guard deficiencies, inadequate heat supply, and various ceiling maintenance issues. Specifically, violations included the need to address mice infestation, repair defective plastered surfaces, fix roof leaks affecting ceilings, and mitigate approximately two square feet of mold in the bathroom ceiling. The building was constructed in 2005 and, according to bedbug reporting records from 2019 to present, has had no reported infestations of this particular pest during any of the annual filing periods.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with a failed inspection in January 2014 and a passed inspection in January 2010. Despite the recent clustering of maintenance issues in early 2024, it's worth noting that many of these violations have been marked as "closed" following inspections, though some emergency complaints from March 2024 remain in the system. The building's annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 consistently show zero units affected, indicating successful management of this particular pest type. The most recent complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring, particularly regarding water management, mold prevention, and pest control.
