10-37 Beach 9th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The four-story, 18-unit tenement building at 10-37 Beach 9th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by David Livingston and constructed in 1931, has faced several notable issues over the past few years. Most concerning is the pattern of bedbug-related violations, with four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 through 2024, all citing non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD.

While these violations are primarily administrative in nature, their repeated occurrence suggests ongoing concerns about pest management in the building. The property has also experienced some significant mechanical and safety concerns.

In early 2021, there were issues with the boiler system, including a defective or inoperative unit, which resulted in an ECB violation regarding an improperly displayed boiler room contact sign. Three Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection complaints were filed in January 2023, though all were closed with no violations noted at the time of inspection. Historical records indicate the building has maintained its class designation as a "New Law Tenement," which refers to an apartment building that was constructed before the 1930s and is subject to specific regulations related to safety and maintenance standards.
