11-40 Bayport Place, Queens, NY 11691

The 2-family house at 11-40 Bayport Place in Far Rockaway, built in 1920 and currently owned by Jeffry Samet, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2018-2019. The property underwent substantial documented problems throughout 2018, with multiple complaints to both HPD and the Department of Buildings.

These issues included unsanitary conditions with pests and mold, flooring problems, and violations requiring emergency attention. Specifically, Apartment 2 on the second story had multiple violations that were documented and presumably resolved by 2019, including problems with bathroom fixtures, stairs, doors, and pest infestations. The building also faced serious electrical safety concerns, with multiple complaints between 2018-2019 regarding defective or exposed wiring, which resulted in Oath Violations being served through the Department of Buildings during this period.

In 2019, there were multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to electrical wiring and failure to comply with commissioner orders, though records indicate these violations were ultimately resolved. A significant safety concern was noted in 2018 regarding unapproved and unsafe electrical equipment being used in the second-floor bathroom, with extension cords being improperly utilized as permanent wiring. While all listed violations and complaints have been officially closed or resolved as of their certified dates, which extend into 2019 and 2020, the historical record indicates a period of considerable maintenance challenges for this property, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment.
