56-10 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11692

56-10 Beach Channel Drive is a 7-story, 813-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Fred Camerata. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during May 2025, with multiple HPD complaints and violations concerning unsanitary conditions, including mold, plumbing issues with basins/sinks, and window/frame maintenance.

Notably, there were also heating system problems affecting the entire building in May 2025, though these were later verified as corrected. The building's maintenance record shows persistent issues with building systems and infrastructure, including violations from December 2024 relating to fire safety systems, heating, and water supply, as well as roof and ceiling repairs needed in the public hall. The property has a documented history of facade and safety concerns, with multiple Environmental Control Board violations in 2022 regarding safety measures for an unsafe facade, though these were eventually resolved.

Recent bedbug reports show occasional infestations, with three documented units treated between 2023-2024, and the building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, with one failed inspection in 2012. The building has had numerous work permits issued between 2018-2019 for exterior and maintenance work, suggesting ongoing efforts to address building maintenance needs. The most recent Department of Buildings inspection records from 2025 show a continuing pattern of needing to address various building code violations and maintenance issues, with some open violations related to public safety systems.
