125 Beach 17th Street, Queens, NY 11691
The 26-story residential building at 125 Beach 17th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Matthew Finkle, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges since 2022, with most recent concerns emerging in mid-2025. The building has documented issues with both pest infestations and indoor air quality problems in June 2025, including a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests that was classified as an emergency.
Multiple housing maintenance code violations have been issued for apartments 9A, 10A, and 9E, with documented infestations of mice and roaches as of December 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with various maintenance concerns that have often gone uninspected due to lack of access, including problems with paint/plaster, electrical lighting, and heat/hot water systems. The building's infrastructure has faced scrutiny, with multiple elevator-related complaints recorded between 2021 and 2025, though inspections generally found no violations.
Three bedbug infestations were recorded between 2021 and 2024, with varying numbers of units affected and subsequently eradicated. The building's exterior and facade maintenance has been a point of concern, with several environmental control board violations related to facade conditions, including active violations as of 2024 regarding exterior walls and masonry. While rodent inspections conducted throughout 2023-2025 consistently passed, indicating some level of pest management efforts, the persistence of various maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep.
