531 Beach 43rd Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family residence at 531 Beach 43rd Street in Edgemere, owned by Sara Mierov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. Most recently, in September 2023, the building was the subject of a pest-related complaint that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found.

The property has faced recurring sanitation challenges, most notably in 2020, when there were multiple sewage-related complaints (in July and August) that went uninspected due to inspection access issues, and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) had to intervene regarding a sewage odor. Heat-related problems have also been documented, with both emergency and non-emergency complaints in December 2020 and December 2021 respectively, though in the latter case, inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected areas. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly relating to pests and sewage, with responses from various city agencies including HPD and DOHMH.

While no code violations were issued following the most recent pest inspection in 2023, and other complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of recurring issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Additionally, there is documentation from May 2020 regarding non-compliance in a privately owned public space, though this complaint was referred to the Department of Sanitation for resolution. The two-family structure, which spans two stories and was built in 2004, remains an active residential property in the Edgemere neighborhood.
