6-15 Beach 68th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 6-15 Beach 68th Street in Arverne, owned by Daniel Wolkowitz, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years. The most recent concern was reported in October 2022 regarding paint and plaster issues on the walls, which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect due to access issues, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution.

The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water problems, with two separate complaints in March and April 2020, though in both instances heat and hot water were reported to have been restored either during or shortly after HPD's involvement. A plumbing incident involving water supply issues was reported in August 2021, which was inspected with no violations found. The property has maintained a two-story, two-unit configuration since its construction in 1960, with no recent records suggesting any significant structural modifications or illegal conversions.

A complaint regarding an illegal conversion was filed in January 2019, but HPD inspectors were unable to gain access during their second and final attempt to investigate. While the HVAC and water infrastructure showed some vulnerabilities in 2020, with two heat/hot water complaints in a single year, there have been no such complaints in the more recent period, suggesting possible improvements to those systems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of access-related complications during inspections, with HPD unable to investigate both the October 2022 paint complaint and the January 2019 illegal conversion complaint, which may be an area of concern for prospective tenants.
