156 Beach 9th Street, Queens, NY 11691

156 Beach 9th Street in Far Rockaway is an 8-story, 42-unit residential building constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Mellville Sukhu. The property has experienced persistent rodent issues, with multiple rat sightings reported through 311 complaints between 2024 and 2025, including violations found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in both April and January 2025.

Recent rodent inspections in early 2025 show continued activity, with bait application occurring in January and December 2024, though inspections have generally confirmed the presence of rats. The building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations across all annual reports between 2020 and 2024, with no eradication or re-infestation cases reported. The property has faced several structural and maintenance challenges over recent years.

In 2021, there were violations related to the building's exterior walls and balcony conditions, including corroded frames and cracked brick joints, which were resolved though they carried penalties of $620 and $625 respectively. An elevator safety violation from 2020 regarding door lock monitoring requirements was also resolved, with a penalty of $1250. While the building's recent maintenance records show consistent bedbug reporting compliance, the ongoing rodent management issues persist as the most significant current concern for the property, with multiple inspections in 2025 indicating that while some bait has been applied, rat activity remains a problem.
