124 Beach 31st Street, Queens, NY 11691

The 3-unit residential building at 124 Beach 31st Street in Far Rockaway, owned by Abe Rosenthal, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2024, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in May 2025. These recent complaints, all requiring HPD inspection, included issues with mold (classified as unsanitary condition), problems with the radiator and ceiling paint/plaster, and refrigerator issues, all resulting in violations. Prior to this, in April 2025, there was an emergency complaint regarding heat and hot water, though these services were reportedly restored during inspection.

In mid-2024, multiple inspections addressed various maintenance matters including flooring, smoke detector functionality, plumbing, and window issues, though most of these did not result in violations. The building has documented several specific violations of the Housing Maintenance Code, primarily affecting the third-floor apartment. These included issues with hot water temperature, intercom system functionality, plaster and paint conditions, window counterbalance mechanisms, and a mold condition which was later certified as corrected.

Notably, there is one open violation from September 2024 regarding defective self-closing doors at the building's street entrance. The building's systems and infrastructure have generally been compliant, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (from 2019-2025) and a passing rodent inspection in October 2014, indicating appropriate pest management practices. The property was constructed in 2005 and consists of three stories, currently occupied by three units.
