242 Beach 13th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 242 Beach 13th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Avrohom Sebrow, has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the 2018-2022 period. Most notably, there are multiple active violations related to unauthorized unit conversions and unsafe gas work from 2018, including improper gas piping installation, lack of testing for new plumbing systems, and evidence of multiple unlawful unit configurations creating four-family occupancy instead of the legally permitted two-family structure. These violations carry significant financial penalties totaling $12,350.

In early 2020, the building experienced a cluster of interrelated issues, including plumbing problems (with violations involving toilets, sinks, and heavy water leaks), pest infestations, electrical problems (including inadequate lighting), and ceiling damage - all of which resulted in emergency violations. The building underwent a major incident in 2022 that resulted in a full vacate order being served, along with a Full Stop Work Order, though specific details of this incident are not fully documented in the provided data. More recently, in 2024, there were two "CSE: Sweep" complaints that were inspected but found to have no violations warranting action.

The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control between 2018-2019, with initial failures transitioning to compliance in subsequent inspections. The building's historical pattern shows periods of substantial maintenance issues, particularly in 2018-2020, with many violations remaining open as of the most recent available data. While there have been some inspections in 2024 with no violations found, the persistence of certain open violations from 2018 suggests ongoing non-compliance with some building codes.
