310 Beach 32nd Street, Queens, NY 11691

310 Beach 32nd Street is a 4-story, 9-unit residential building located in Far Rockaway, built in 1935 and owned by Charlie Cortez. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year (2024-2025), with multiple HPD complaints regarding pest infestations, ceiling issues, and plumbing problems. Notably, there have been recurring reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with at least seven complaints, including four in November 2024 alone.

The building has also faced challenges with heating systems, as evidenced by heat/hot water complaints in November 2024, and various water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks and ceiling problems reported in August 2024. Multiple units have open violations, including Unit 1 experiencing rodent infestations, water leaks, and door issues as of August 2024. Unit 6 has reported door and pest problems, and there are persistent external violations regarding low pressure inspections that span multiple years (2018-2024). The building's management history shows a pattern of access issues during HPD inspections, with inspectors frequently unable to gain access to investigate complaints, resulting in multiple complaints being closed without proper inspection.

There were also construction-related concerns in 2019, including a building evacuation due to structural stability worries, though this was later rescinded. Recent violations from 2024-2023 indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a requirement for a construction sidewalk shed to safeguard a potentially unstable metal balcony. The building has failed multiple rodent inspections in 2023-2024, and there are numerous open violations regarding various maintenance issues across different units, including pest infestations, plumbing problems, and door repairs. While permits were issued in 2018 and 2019 for unspecified work, the persistent nature of the complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
