218 Beach 29th Street, Queens, NY 11691

Over the past few years, 218 Beach 29th Street in Far Rockaway has experienced several maintenance issues that warrant attention. Most recently, in June 2025, there were complaints about unsafe mold conditions and water leaks, both categorized as emergency situations.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including a heavy flow leak in October 2024 and a slow leak reported in June 2025. Other maintenance concerns have included issues with the outside skylight (October 2024), pest infestations (May 2024), and electrical problems with outlets or switches (May 2024), though no violations were issued for these last two complaints. The building's violation history shows recurring notifications regarding the required annual bedbug reporting between 2021 and 2023, though all these violations have been closed.

However, more recent bedbug reports from 2022-2023 through 2024-2025 indicate that no units were infested during these periods, with zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported. While the building was constructed in 2004 and has three stories with three units, the persistent issues with water leaks and recent mold concerns suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Despite these problems, it's notable that housing inspections have often been unable to gain access to inspect reported issues, resulting in closed complaints without verification of the conditions.
