178 Beach 27th Street, Queens, NY 11691

178 Beach 27th Street is a three-story, three-unit Class A residential building located in Far Rockaway, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Ari Fozailow. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2018-2019. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding water leaks, plumbing issues, and unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations.

Notable incidents included two heavy water leak complaints in February and April 2019, and multiple unsanitary conditions related to garbage storage and pests in August 2018. The building also faced several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019, including issues with exposed electrical wires, broken fire-retardant material in the public hall, and defective safety equipment in the second-floor apartment. More recent inspections have shown improvements in the building's maintenance record.

Between 2021 and 2024, the bedbug reporting shows consistent zero infestation counts in all reporting periods, and the most recent annual bedbug report for 2024 confirms no infested or re-infested dwelling units. The building underwent several repairs in 2019 to address safety concerns, including the correction of water leaks, electrical issues, and the replacement of defective detectors. While there were rodent inspection failures recorded in 2010, subsequent annual bedbug reports have indicated successful eradication and lack of re-infestation. The building's most recent violations from 2024 were related to the annual bedbug reporting requirement, though this is not necessarily indicative of an active infestation.
