318 Beach 47th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 318 Beach 47th Street in Edgemere, owned by Matthew McEvoy and built in 2004, has experienced several notable issues over its operational history. Most recently, in November 2023, there was a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene investigation into sewage odor and indoor air quality issues, though the problem was only partially addressed via an advisory to the property management.

The building has a documented history of garbage and recycling storage problems, with complaints filed in both 2020 and 2025, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in 2020, and similar complaints were closed without noted violations in 2025. In 2018, there were serious concerns regarding potential illegal conversion of the property, which prompted Department of Buildings involvement. While an initial vacate order was issued, records indicate this was fully rescinded.

The building also faced construction enforcement scrutiny in September 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their second attempt. The property had two immediately hazardous violations in late 2018 regarding failure to certify corrections, which were ultimately dismissed in 2019, with one noted as being paid under invoice #62066239. While the building has experienced several issues requiring regulatory intervention, the response times to complaints have generally been prompt, with most issues being resolved within a reasonable timeframe.
