6-21 Beach 68th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The property at 6-21 Beach 68th Street in Arverne is a one-story, two-family house built in 1960, currently owned by Mansion Homes Inc. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most recent concerns arising in July 2024, including plumbing problems with water supply and lighting issues, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but no violations were issued. In May 2023, multiple violations were documented in the basement apartment (BASEME), including water leaks, pest infestation, and problems with walls and ceilings requiring repair and proper maintenance.

These violations were certified as corrected by August 2023, including issues with broken plaster surfaces, defective ceramic tiles, and the need for repair of various walls in the bathroom and other areas. The building's recent history shows some systemic maintenance challenges, particularly during 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, unsanitary conditions, and heating issues. While most of these problems were addressed and closed with no additional violations, the property has required ongoing maintenance attention.

A building identification number violation was noted in August 2024 regarding street number visibility. The Department of Buildings recorded an illegal conversion complaint in February 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Most recently, a permit was issued in February 2025 for unspecified work under job number 410058770. The property's maintenance record indicates a pattern of plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance issues, particularly affecting the basement apartment, though many of these have been resolved through HPD inspections and subsequent corrections.
