616 Beach 69th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 616 Beach 69th Street in Arverne, owned by Sandro Lamberti, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since at least 2019, with the most significant being persistent heat and hot water problems. The building, constructed in 1960, has documented multiple complaints about inadequate heat and hot water between 2019 and 2022, with particular concern in 2022 when violations were issued for scalding hot water exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in Apartment 2.

The property has also faced plumbing challenges, including issues with sinks and water supply in 2022, which resulted in multiple violations requiring repairs. Additional concerns emerged related to safety systems and living conditions, including an open violation as of December 2022 regarding a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 2, an infestation of roaches, and various plumbing-related problems. Recent activity from 2025 suggests ongoing monitoring and enforcement attention to the property, with complaints regarding illegal conversion and certificate of occupancy issues being filed, though these did not result in any confirmed violations due to lack of access during inspections.

Between 2019 and 2022, there were several emergency complaints that required immediate attention, including issues with doors/windows, rodent conditions, and heating systems. While some violations from 2019-2022 were eventually closed, including a mold-related issue and various infrastructure problems, many of the 2022 violations related to plumbing, heating, and safety systems remain open. The building's maintenance history indicates a pattern of recurring plumbing and heating system issues, with multiple instances of tenant complaints and subsequent inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.
