153 Beach 26th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, three-unit building at 153 Beach 26th Street in Far Rockaway, owned by David Nehaice, has experienced a series of maintenance and habitability issues since its construction in 2003. Notable recent concerns include two unresolved complaints filed in 2023 regarding a ventilation system and garbage/recycling storage, both of which were closed without satisfactory resolution. The building has documented multiple plumbing issues, with emergency complaints regarding bathtubs/showers, toilets, and sinks in July 2022, followed by similar problems in October 2022 involving various fixtures.

The most recent inspection in September 2024 revealed several maintenance violations in Apartment 3, including issues with doors, window frames, and both interior and exterior maintenance concerns such as a defective rain leader and building entrance door problems. The property has a documented history of rodent infestations, with a significant violation noted in September 2024 declaring an active mice infestation in Apartment 3. Previous rodent inspections from 2012 showed failed compliance results.

While the building has shown some ability to address internal issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints being closed after verification of corrections, persistent ventilation and garbage storage problems remain. The building's condition has prompted multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. However, it's worth noting that the bedbug report filings from 2023 to 2025 show no active infestations, with three previously affected units having been successfully treated.
