201 Beach 31st Street, Queens, NY 11691

The 3-unit residential building at 201 Beach 31st Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Kim Shah, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since late 2022. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of pest-related complaints, with four such reports in late 2023 alone, though inspections did not result in violations.

Water-related issues have also persisted, with emergency complaints regarding heavy flow water leaks in both January and November 2023, the latter of which was classified as an emergency after the complaint was filed in November 2023 and closed in December 2023. The property has also faced challenges with sanitary conditions, including mold issues reported in November 2023, though no violations were issued upon inspection. Recent inspections in November 2024 resulted in several critical violations that were subsequently addressed, including the need to replace a missing handrail in the public hall stairs, repair a self-closing door at the front entrance, and post gas leak procedures in a common area.

Earlier violations from 2023 indicated issues with window frames, safety devices, and a bedbug infestation in Apartment 2, though the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates no current infestation. The building's history shows some recurring issues with window repairs and public safety features, though these have generally been addressed once identified. The property had rodent inspection results from 2017-2018 showing initial failures followed by passing compliance in October 2018, indicating some improvements in pest control measures during that period.
