169 Beach 60th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The three-unit, two-story residential building at 169 Beach 60th Street in Arverne, owned by 169 Beach 60 LLC, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most recently, in July 2023, there was a plumbing water supply complaint that required inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued.

In late 2022, the building faced multiple interconnected issues that resulted in various violations, including problems with electric power (lighting issues), gutter/leader maintenance, the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system, and unsanitary conditions such as mold and pest infestations. These complaints led to several violations being issued, with specific problems noted in the third-floor apartment including defective flooring, various bathroom issues, and electrical concerns. The building's infrastructure maintenance records also show some concerning patterns, particularly with the boiler system.

A complaint in May 2022 regarding the boiler's condition led to an Environmental Control Board violation in June 2022, detailing multiple issues including exposed wires, lighting problems, and other safety concerns, with a penalty of $3,125 imposed (though the balance due is listed as $0). Interestingly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple bedbug reports from 2022 through 2024 showing no affected units or infestation issues. While many of the 2022 violations appear to still be listed as open or have not been marked as certified as corrected, there have been no reported recurring issues since the most recent plumbing complaint in 2023, suggesting some improvement in building maintenance responsiveness.
