316 Beach 15th Street, Queens, NY 11691

316 Beach 15th Street is a two-family house located in Far Rockaway, built in 1930 and currently owned by Shania Williams. The property has documented recurring issues with pest infestations, particularly rodents, with failed inspections in 2023, 2022, 2018, and 2010 showing ongoing challenges.

The building experienced significant maintenance concerns in early 2023, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code issues related to unsanitary conditions, mold, and various paint/plaster deficiencies across different areas including walls and ceilings. While many of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and closed without violations, at least one violation was issued regarding garbage/recycling storage.

The property has persistent infrastructure and safety concerns, as evidenced by open violations from 2022 including issues with the concrete floor at the stoop and various concerns with the porch structure. Specific apartment-related problems were documented, including hot water temperature issues, plumbing concerns, and multiple pest infestation citations in both the 2nd-floor and 2nd-story apartments. While some individual complaints from 2023 have been closed, the building continues to show patterns of maintenance challenges that suggest ongoing attention to structural, sanitary, and pest control issues is required.
