324 Beach 48th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 324 Beach 48th Street in the Edgemere neighborhood, owned by Ilya Zavolunov and constructed in 1930, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in late 2023, the building faced plumbing problems in the first-floor apartment, specifically involving the bathtub/shower and toilet facilities, which were classified as emergency complaints.

An April 2024 inspection resulted in three open violations concerning water-related issues in the first-floor apartment, including defective faucets in the bathroom, ongoing water leakage in the kitchen, and problems with the plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen ceiling. Looking back through the building's history, there were multiple plumbing and sanitation concerns documented in 2020, including radiator issues and two pest-related complaints, with violations cited in one of the pest complaints.

That same year, significant safety concerns were identified in the first-floor apartment, including an infestation of vermin flies, a defective entrance door, and problems with fire egress due to obstructing bars or gates on a window. While the building has undergone various inspections and repairs over the years, the persistence of water-related issues and the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 are notable. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations, with no reported cases over the past five years according to the NYC bedbug reporting system, indicating effective management of this particular pest issue.
