407 Beach 48th Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 407 Beach 48th Street in Edgemere, built in 2004 and currently owned by 407 Beach 48 LLC, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems over the past several years. Most recently, in December 2024, the building received violations for dangerously hot water conditions, with temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit, affecting the first-floor apartment.

This incident, classified as an emergency, prompted an HPD inspection that also revealed problems with defective plastered surfaces and paint in the private hallway of the same apartment. While these violations were eventually certified as corrected by January 2025, they indicate persistent maintenance challenges.

The building's history shows at least two documented heat/hot water complaints in both 2021 and 2024, with the 2021 incident receiving prompt attention and resolution, though some ambiguity remains regarding whether the conditions fully improved or if an additional complaint was necessary to address ongoing issues. The pattern of heating system-related complaints suggests that this building has faced recurring challenges with maintaining adequate and safe temperature control systems, warranting attention to this recurring issue.
