24-15 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11691

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 24-15 Beach Channel Drive in the Bayswater neighborhood, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Safwan Alsaidi, has recently experienced a cluster of significant safety and maintenance issues. Most concerning are the April 2025 violations involving non-functioning carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, though these safety violations were inspected by HPD and formally documented.

The building has also faced recurring problems with unsanitary conditions, including mold (noted in both April 2025 and January 2025 complaints), though one pest-related complaint from April 2025 was determined not to violate housing laws. Multiple complaints regarding electrical problems (outlets/switches) and ceiling issues (paint/plaster) have been documented in 2025, with violations issued. A November 2024 inspection revealed additional open violations in Apartment 2, including broken plaster surfaces requiring repair and a noted infestation of mice and cockroaches.

The inspection documented various maintenance issues requiring attention, including problems with ceramic floor tiles, bathroom fixtures, and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detector replacements. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four years (2019-2024), the recent concentration of safety and maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety compliance. The most recent set of violations from April 2025, which included three separate safety-related complaints (carbon monoxide detector, smoke detector, and safety-related issues), though officially closed, indicates a pattern of safety system maintenance challenges that requires monitoring.
