43-06 Rockaway Beach Blvd, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, two-family house at 43-06 Rockaway Beach Blvd, owned by Amin Bhojani, has experienced several notable maintenance and occupancy issues since its construction in 2006. Most recently, in February 2023, there were emergency reports of unsanitary conditions (mold) and safety concerns (sprinkler system) that were inspected but resulted in no violations. The building has a documented history of rodent-related issues in 2021, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in October 2021 found no violations.

Multiple complaints regarding garbage/recycling storage were filed in October 2021, resulting in violations for refuse accumulation in 2021, which were officially closed. A significant concern emerged between 2021-2022 regarding potential illegal occupancy status, with multiple complaints about unauthorized transient use. The Environmental Control Board (ECB) issued violations in April 2022, citing occupancy contrary to COFO requirements for a two-family dwelling, lack of required means of egress, and missing fire safety systems for transient use on the second and third floors, although the violations were later resolved with imposed penalties totaling $17,625.

The building's maintenance history shows various electrical and structural issues needing attention in 2021, including problems with lighting, windows, and door frames, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. While most complaints have been addressed with inspections showing no violations, the pattern of repeated complaints and violations, particularly regarding occupancy and maintenance, suggests ongoing management challenges. Recent complaints about sprinkles and mold in early 2023 were also resolved without violations being found.
