34-11 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11691

The 154-unit, 7-story building at 34-11 Beach Channel Drive in Bayswater, owned by Ilsoo Kim and completed in 2016, has experienced persistent issues with its elevator and heating systems, particularly throughout 2024-2025. The building's elevator problems are well-documented, with multiple complaints and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations for being out of service, most notably resulting in a $3,125 penalty in November 2024 for creating a hazardous condition. The heating and hot water problems have been frequent, with several emergency complaints in 2025 alone, including ten heat/hot water-related 311 service requests between January and June 2025.

While some of these complaints showed violations during inspections, others were either resolved or could not be properly inspected. The building has also faced various maintenance issues, including water leaks, ventilation problems, and plaster/paint concerns, particularly in 2025. Specific apartments with documented violations include Unit 209 (heat during summer), Unit 422 (defective self-closing door), and Unit 612 (leaky faucets).

Notable historical issues include an infestation problem in Unit 415 reported in 2022 (still showing as open) and concerns with Unit 511's heating system from December 2022. The building's management has received multiple ECB violations for failure to maintain elevator systems and comply with tenant protection requirements during construction periods, with penalties totaling several thousand dollars. Recent bedbug reporting shows one unit infested between 2023-2024, though previous years had no reported infestations. The property has had regular inspections and violations management processes, with most issues ultimately being resolved or closed through appropriate channels.
