207 Beach 28th Street, Queens, NY 11691

This three-unit residential building at 207 Beach 28th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by James Taiwo and constructed in 2006, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in July 2021, the building faced multiple violations including ceiling paint/plaster problems, water leak issues, and window frame concerns, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment. These violations were all documented as requiring corrections.

The building's history shows recurring pest control issues, with several complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests between 2020 and 2021, some of which resulted in violations. There was also a concerning incident in December 2020 regarding heat/hot water access when inspectors could not gain entry to verify the complaint. More recent history indicates some regulatory scrutiny, with the building receiving bedbug reporting violations in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for not filing annual bedbug reports as required.

In September 2020, there were complaints about illegal conversion and occupancy issues, leading to an Environmental Control Board violation for unauthorized occupancy beyond the legally approved number of families, though this appears to have been resolved with a penalty payment. The most recent building records show a gas utility referral complaint in late 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to address the issue. There has been no documented bedbug infestation in the building since the 2021-2022 reporting period, and the property has maintained its required permit filings, including an issued permit in July 2022 for unspecified work.
