462 Beach 67th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The three-unit, three-story building at 462 Beach 67th Street in Arverne, owned by Robert Bactawar and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, multiple violations were recorded in July 2024 related to the basement boiler room, including improper storage of combustible materials, a damaged fire-retardant ceiling, and defective masonry around the flue pipe - all classified as "B" violations indicating significant safety concerns.

There are also ongoing violations from March 2024 in the first-floor apartment, including issues with the refrigerator door gasket, bathroom waste line drain pipe, and a glass pane in the entrance door. The building has a pattern of requiring emergency attention to various issues, with multiple complaints in 2020 regarding flooring, electrical outlets, plumbing, and doors, though these were ultimately closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.

The property has recurring administrative violations related to bedbug reporting, with open violations in 2022, 2023, and April 2024 indicating non-compliance with HPD regulations. While some issues have been resolved, including a March 2023 violation regarding a defective front entrance self-closing door, the persistence of multiple open violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance issues affecting both common areas and individual units, with particular attention required to address the recent boiler room safety concerns.
