29-66 Far Rockaway Blvd, Queens, NY 11691

The three-unit, three-story building at 29-66 Far Rockaway Blvd in Bayswater, owned by Frank Oriahkhi and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency complaint that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Earlier in 2024, multiple concerns were documented during inspections between May 30 and June 10, including a fire escape safety issue with defective top return rail attachment at the east stack on the third story (Class C violation), electrical outlet concerns, and reports of mold and pest problems - though no violations were ultimately issued for these latter complaints. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations and compliance issues from 2021 through 2024 that warrant attention. These include lead paint hazard violations in Apartment 2 (July 2021) affecting the bathroom ceiling and west hallway wall, missing window guards throughout Apartment 2, and a sloped wood floor repair requirement in the private hallway.

The property has also faced administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though recent filings for 2022-2024 show no reported infestations. Other regulatory compliance issues have been addressed, including the posting of gas leak procedures and housing information guide notices in late 2021. While many violations have been closed through certification, the recurring pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, suggests an ongoing need for attention to building systems and resident comfort.
