219 Beach 28th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building in Far Rockaway, constructed in 2006 and currently owned by Amnon Touaf. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed through 311 service requests every month from November 2023 through February 2024, most of which resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection.

The most recent violations were documented in November 2023, affecting Apartment 1, including problems with self-closing doors, inadequate heat supply, and missing safety devices such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has also faced infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by a 2019 complaint regarding door and window issues, and a plumbing problem involving a toilet that same month.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to pest control, with rodent inspections conducted in 2019 showing initial compliance with requirements, and no bedbug infestations reported in the annual filings from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective management of these particular issues. While there have been multiple emergency complaints about heat and hot water systems, the building has generally demonstrated compliance with other housing maintenance codes, as evidenced by the closure of various violations through certification processes. The property has maintained consistent documentation of its bedbug-free status over the past six years, with no units reported as infested or requiring eradication measures, indicating effective pest management practices.
