221 Beach 28th Street, Queens, NY 11691

221 Beach 28th Street is a three-story, three-unit Class A building in Far Rockaway, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Amnon Touaf. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with the most recent confirmed complaint in February 2025 affecting the entire building, though investigators were unable to gain access for inspection.

The property has also faced significant maintenance challenges in 2023, including multiple violations for unaddressed ceiling issues and evidence of mold, particularly affecting Unit 1F. These violations, along with others noted in mid-2023, included problems with self-closing doors, smoke detector maintenance, and pest control (specifically roach infestation) in Unit 1F. Unit 3 has reported ongoing maintenance issues as evidenced by several open violations regarding water leaks, ceiling damage, and roof problems.

The building's history shows some attention to safety features, with a fire escape inspection conducted in 2022 resulting in no violations, though earlier complaints regarding window frame issues resulted in violations being issued. Notably, while the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years (2019-2024), and has passed rodent inspections, the frequency of heating system complaints and recent maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The most recent confirmed violations, dating from mid-2023, included multiple issues needing attention in Unit 1F, though records indicate that some of these violations were certified as corrected by August 2023.
