1025 Beach 21st Street, Queens, NY 11691

The 5-story, Class B building at 1025 Beach 21st Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Tejpal Sandhu, was constructed in 2018 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over its short lifespan. Most notably, there has been a persistent pest problem, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints related to pests reported between 2020 and 2024, with three emergency complaints received in November 2023 alone.

The building has also faced significant heating system challenges, including a building-wide heat complaint in March 2022 and a non-residential heat issue in November 2021, with another heating complaint from March 2021 that was inspected but resulted in no violations. A critical safety concern emerged in May 2023 when the only elevator in the building was found to be out of service, leading to a violation with a $1,250 penalty that has since been resolved.

The building's construction was preceded by several permits being issued between late 2018 and early 2019 for various types of work, including plumbing, electrical, and after-work modifications, with the most significant being for new building construction in March 2019. While there were no violations found during a July 2019 inspection related to a sustainability complaint, the recurring maintenance issues, particularly the pest problems and heating system challenges, have been notable throughout the building's history.
