398 Beach 13th Street, Queens, NY 11691

398 Beach 13th Street is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building in Far Rockaway, owned by Ahron Freidus and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent cluster of complaints occurring in February 2019, when multiple complaints were filed regarding electrical issues, unsanitary conditions, and plumbing problems, though these complaints were closed due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development being unable to gain access for inspection.

The building has a history of violations primarily concentrated in Apartment 3, documented between 2016 and 2019, including issues with windows, bathroom fixtures, plumbing, and interior surfaces. Notably, there was a Class C mold and mildew violation in 2016 that remained open longer than other violations, though many violations were certified as corrected by March 2019.

The building's maintenance history also shows consistent bedbug monitoring between 2020 and 2025, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filings. While rodent inspections in 2010 resulted in failed inspections, there have been no documented rodent-related complaints in more recent years. The most recent documented issues, as of 2023, appear to be resolved, as the building has shown no significant recurring violation patterns in recent years, though the presence of multiple historical violations suggests a history of maintenance challenges that required multiple interventions to resolve.
