418 Beach 28th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The 2-family house at 418 Beach 28th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Mauri Clarke, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year, with particular emphasis on heating and sanitation concerns. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water throughout the building, with four emergency complaints filed between November 9 and December 6, 2023, and subsequent violations issued for both inadequate heat supply and excessively hot water (145°F found) in the TOPFLO apartment as of December 7, 2023.

The building has also faced pest infestation challenges, with two separate complaints regarding rodents in May 2023 and December 2023, including an active violation for mice infestation in the TOPFLO apartment as of December 7, 2023. In addition to these pressing issues, there have been concerns regarding doors and windows, with complaints filed in December 2023 about frames needing attention, though no violations were issued following inspections.

Earlier in the year, in May 2023, there were complaints about mold and pest issues that were investigated but resulted in no violations. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both basic services and sanitation, with multiple instances of inspectors being unable to gain access for proper evaluation, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues. The property, built in 1920, is structured as a two-story building containing four units, though the majority of the recent complaints appear to have originated from the second-floor apartments.
