25-04 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11691

The 3-story, 9-unit building at 25-04 Beach Channel Drive in Bayswater, owned by Marc Lazar, has been in operation since 1931 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. The property has had multiple heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints recorded in April 2023 and October 2023, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored prior to HPD's inspection.

Window frame maintenance appears to be an ongoing issue, with multiple complaints filed between 2022 and 2024, including a recent emergency complaint in March 2024 where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building experienced significant infrastructure challenges in July 2022, with multiple emergency complaints regarding heavy water leaks, for which violations were issued. Additional violations were noted during this period, including issues with ceiling paint/plaster that affected unit 1A, which also had problems with water leakage, damaged plastered surfaces, and a defective smoke detector - all of which were subsequently addressed as the violations were marked closed.

In September 2023, the building received violations related to self-closing doors at the front entrance and in apartment 2B, though these were also subsequently closed after repairs were made. More recently, in April 2023, a violation was issued regarding broken stone siding around the entrance door to the building. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with all annual reports from 2020-2025 showing zero infested or eradicated units.
