230 Beach 32nd Street, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story residential building at 230 Beach 32nd Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Kimberly Parker and constructed in 2004, has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring attention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Starting in late January 2025, there were several complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems, plumbing (specifically regarding a basin/sink), window frames, and unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and mold.

While inspectors conducted evaluations of these complaints, they determined that most did not violate housing laws, though there were violations issued in connection with plumbing and hot water issues. The building has also been under scrutiny since a significant HPD inspection on April 11, 2023, which revealed several open violations in Apartment 2, including problems with pest infestations (mice and roaches), broken appliances (oven door in gas range), plumbing issues (leaky faucets), and window problems. The building is currently in need of addressing these violations, which include requirements for proper repairs, pest abatement, and adherence to various housing maintenance code requirements.

Historical data indicates the building has had some recurring pest issues, with three units reported infested in 2019, though subsequent reports from 2020 through 2024 show no further bedbug infestations. More recently, multiple 311 complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed in late 2024 and early 2025. The building also has several open violations from the April 2023 inspection requiring attention to comply with housing regulations, including the need to post proper notices regarding smoke detector requirements and housing information guides.
