516 Beach 67th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 516 Beach 67th Street in Arverne, owned by Peter Adams and constructed in 1930, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, in September 2024, there were multiple violations recorded, including emergency conditions related to mold, water leaks (heavy flow), and appliance issues (electric/gas range), as well as problems with flooring/stairs and ceiling maintenance.

These violations, documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, primarily affected the first-floor apartment (1F) and included issues with water damage affecting ceilings and walls in both the bathroom and kitchen, broken floors, defective plaster surfaces, and a problematic gas range. More recent developments include an active illegal conversion complaint from March 2025, though initial inspection attempts in April 2025 reported no access to the unit.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past four reporting periods from 2022 to 2025, with no units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. While most violations from 2024 appear to have been closed, the recent illegal conversion complaint suggests ongoing scrutiny of the property's status. The building has a history of both emergency and non-emergency maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns relating to water damage, mold, and appliance functionality in recent months.
