303 Beach 65th Street, Queens, NY 11692

303 Beach 65th Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building constructed in 2008 in Arverne, currently owned by Barry Ekstein. The building's recent history shows significant maintenance and safety concerns, with multiple emergency complaints and violations recorded in early 2022. Specifically, there were issues with water leaks (heavy flow), ceiling paint/plaster problems, and broken/missing window guards, all of which resulted in violations that were subsequently resolved.

Prior to this, in March 2020, there was an incident involving loss of heat and hot water, though these services were reportedly restored promptly according to tenant feedback. The building underwent multiple repairs in early 2022, including addressing roof leaks affecting multiple ceilings, repairing a sliding balcony door, and ensuring proper window guards were installed or repaired, particularly in apartment 3RDFLO. The property has maintained a good record regarding bedbug infestations, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

Administrative compliance issues were noted in 2022 regarding building safety inspection certificates and address registration signage, but these violations were also resolved. Additionally, there are two Department of Buildings permits on record from July 2018 related to new construction and plumbing work. The building's maintenance history suggests previous water-related issues, particularly in 2022, but recent bedbug reports and the absence of reported violations since 2022 indicate improved conditions in recent years.
