145 Beach 59th Street, Queens, NY 11692

145 Beach 59th Street is a 1-story, 13-unit residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Haya Shabtai. The building has experienced recurring issues with essential services, most notably a recent heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in January 2025, and multiple incidents of electrical problems, including two separate no-lighting complaints in mid-2024 for which HPD inspections were unable to be completed.

Between March and May 2024, several significant maintenance concerns were documented, including the presence of pests (with violations issued), mold, ceiling paint issues, and a broken window guard, though not all resulted in violations. The building suffered a fire incident in January 2024 in Apartment 6, though this violation was subsequently closed. Of particular concern is the building's failure to maintain proper inspection records for external low-pressure systems, with multiple active violations from 2023-2024 showing non-compliance with required filings.

There are also two open Class C violations related to self-closing doors in the basement and various apartments. While the building has maintained a zero count for bedbug infestations across the past six reporting periods (2018-2025), and completed some emergency repairs as noted in inspection records, including the resolution of various HPD violations, the ongoing nature of basic service interruptions and existing DOB violations suggests persistent maintenance challenges. The property has had two rodent inspection failures in 2022, indicating potential ongoing vermin control issues despite subsequent compliance requirements.
