The 154-unit, 6-story building at 14-50 Gateway Boulevard in Far Rockaway, built in 1931 and currently owned by Lenworth Simms, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, particularly regarding heating and pest control. Most notably, there are two open heat/hot water complaints from April 2025 affecting the entire building, with one related issue having been documented as a class C violation in December 2024 specifically for apartment 6V. The building has also faced recurring pest problems, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code complaints for pests occurring between April and June 2025.
A bedbug infestation pattern has been documented from 2019 to 2023, with recent reports from 2022-2023 showing 8 units infested but all successfully eradicated. Other significant issues include building-wide elevator problems documented through multiple complaints in 2024-2025, with several resulting in Oath Violations. There are three active Environmental Control Board violations as of 2024-2025 related to elevator door zone restrictors and tampering issues, as well as ongoing concerns about the building's heating system, including multiple boiler-related complaints and violations between 2023 and 2024.
The building has passed rodent inspections in 2024-2025, though there was evidence of rat activity noted during 2023 inspections. The Department of Buildings has issued various violations related to fire safety and maintenance, including issues with fire escapes and roof leaks, though many violations from 2023 regarding external low-pressure inspection filings were ultimately dismissed. The property has demonstrated some recent improvements, with multiple housing code complaints being resolved through proper correction and inspections, including a series of repairs in early 2025 related to unsanitary conditions and appliance issues.
