4-59 Beach 63rd Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 4-59 Beach 63rd Street in Arverne, built in 1940 and currently owned by Hanan Sheleg, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024. The property has three open violations as of August 2024 affecting Apartment 2, including issues with an inoperable window, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and a roach infestation. These violations were issued following a July 2024 complaint about unsanitary conditions and have not yet been certified as corrected.

The building has also experienced recurring electrical problems, with multiple complaints about inadequate lighting, including a recent July 2024 report that resulted in no violations being issued. Historical issues from 2018 included more extensive problems in the basement apartment, where multiple violations were documented related to broken fixtures, windows, doors, and electrical outlets, though these were subsequently closed after inspection and repair. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding electrical systems, windows, and pest control.

While many past violations have been resolved, the most recent open violations in 2024 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns. Previous issues from 2018-2019 included both emergency and non-emergency complaints regarding heat and water systems, mold, and various repairs needed throughout the building. The persistence of some recent issues, particularly pest control and safety systems (like carbon monoxide detectors), suggests potential ongoing challenges with property maintenance and resident comfort.
