328 Beach 66th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The three-unit, three-story building at 328 Beach 66th Street in Arverne, owned by Beach 66 Properties LLC and constructed in 1998, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing being a cluster of water-related problems in recent months. In August 2024, multiple violations were documented, including water leaks, plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower, and problems with paint/plaster on both walls and ceilings.

Notably, bedroom 4 in apartment 3 has documented issues with both water leaks and plaster defects, while the bathroom in this apartment has plumbing problems that remain unaddressed as of September 2024. The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between October 2023 and April 2024, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Several of these complaints required inspections, resulting in violations, though there were instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct proper evaluations.

Earlier maintenance issues included problems with the electric/gas range in September-October 2023, which was categorized as a non-emergency. While the building has maintained a record of having no bedbug infestations in its most recent reporting periods (2021-2022), an April 2024 violation was issued regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, suggesting possible administrative oversight rather than an actual infestation problem. The building's current open violations, as of September 2024, primarily relate to water damage and repair needs within apartment 3, while previous heat and hot water issues appear to have been resolved, though they indicate a pattern of system reliability concerns.
