408 Beach 25th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The 7-unit, 1-story apartment building at 408 Beach 25th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Tameshwar Roopchand, has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety issues since at least 2019. Most recently, in May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding sanitary conditions and plumbing problems including issues with toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, as well as ventilation system concerns. These complaints were closed without inspection due to lack of access.

The building has a documented history of rodent and pest problems, with housing maintenance code violations as recent as August 2023 citing roach and mice infestations specifically in Apartment D, and earlier violations in 2023 for mold in Apartment 410C and various plumbing issues including lack of hot water in multiple apartments. The property has undergone several rodent inspections over the years, most recently failing inspections in 2021 and 2022, though a passing inspection was recorded in February 2021. Bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicate no infestations during the filing periods.

The building's maintenance history shows repeated plumbing issues, with multiple emergency service requests related to toilets, sinks, and showers/bathtubs between 2023 and 2025. While some complaints from 2023 regarding plumbing and sanitary conditions were investigated without violations being issued, others were closed due to lack of access. The building's age (built in 1950) and its maintenance record suggest ongoing challenges with infrastructure upkeep, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations since 2020.
