AI summary · updated June 2026

The 6-unit, 2-story building at 319 Beach 44th Street, owned by Simeon Farber and constructed in 1931, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most significantly, in July 2023, multiple complaints regarding pest infestations were reported and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with violations being issued. Currently, there are open Class B and C violations from July 2024, including infestations of roaches and flies in Apartment 3, and multiple issues with self-closing doors throughout the building. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with emergencies reported in both December 2020 and December 2022, though conditions were reportedly resolved in both instances. Previous maintenance concerns have included plumbing issues, door problems, and mold, with varying levels of violations issued during inspections.

The building's management has shown some responsiveness to violations, with certain issues being resolved, though the pattern of recurring infestations and maintenance problems suggests ongoing challenges. Notably, the property has maintained a bedbug-free record since the tracking system was implemented, with no reported cases in any of the annual filings from 2020 through 2024. The building's inspection history also shows two complaints regarding illegal work/permit issues in 2019 and 2022, though in both cases inspectors were unable to verify the violations. While some violations have been closed after inspection, including issues with refrigerator doors and a toilet flushing apparatus, the persistence of certain problems, particularly pest-related ones, stands out as a significant concern in the building's recent history.
