144 Beach 61st Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 144 Beach 61st Street in Arverne, owned by Felix Chalyavski, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in January 2020. During that period, multiple complaints were filed regarding plumbing (toilets and bathtubs/showers), electrical outlets and switches, water leaks, and wall and plaster issues across both apartments. These complaints led to formal Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly in the first-floor apartment, where multiple issues were documented, including water leaks affecting ceilings and walls, defective electrical outlets, and problems with plastered surfaces that required repair and proper painting.

A subsequent inspection in August 2021 noted additional violations in the second-floor apartment regarding wall and ceiling paint conditions. Since these concentrated maintenance issues in 2020-2021, there have been no recorded violations or complaints regarding the building's condition. Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with consistent reporting showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units for the periods covering 2019 through 2023.

The building, constructed in 1970, consists of two stories and contains two residential units. While the earlier maintenance problems were significant at the time, it's important to note that all documented violations have been certified as closed, indicating that the required corrections were made. The absence of recent violations or complaints since 2021 suggests improved maintenance conditions, though the gap in data beyond October 2023 means no recent assessments are available for the current date of July 2025.
