28-14 Seagirt Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story residential building at 28-14 Seagirt Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Sammy Gounden and constructed in 2004, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2024. In June 2024, multiple violations were documented, including unsanitary conditions with pest infestations (specifically mice and roaches), plumbing issues, and problems with appliances including an electric range.

Apartment 3 has been particularly affected, with open violations related to pest infestations, broken plaster surfaces, paint issues, and an appliance malfunction. Earlier in 2024, there were emergency complaints about water supply and smoke detector problems that could not be inspected at the time, though these issues were later addressed and closed. The building has maintained its BEDBUG-free status for several years, with the most recent infestation reported in December 2024 being the first in approximately three years, though records indicate successful eradication.

Historical data shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no prior infestations since 2021. In addition to the 2024 violations, the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, including plumbing repairs, appliance issues, and safety concerns. Recent violations from June 2024 include broken ceramic tiles in the public hall, leaky faucets in Apartment 3's bathroom, and multiple safety device issues including smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector problems, though many of these violations have since been certified as corrected in July 2024.
