69-04 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 69-04 Beach Channel Drive, built in 2006, is currently experiencing multiple pressing maintenance issues that significantly affect resident comfort and safety. The property has open violations as of April 2023 in Unit 1, including infestations of mice and roaches, which were documented in violations classified as "B" under the Housing Maintenance Code. Other open violations in Unit 1 include a defective wood floor, water leak issues affecting the ceiling in the private hallway, problems with plastered surfaces and paint in the same area, and a malfunctioning door lock at the entrance.

The building has also faced recent concerns related to unsanitary conditions, with two separate pest-related complaints resulting in violations. Additionally, there are unresolved issues from December 2022 regarding heat or hot water problems that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not inspect due to access issues. The property has a history of rodent-related concerns, with failed inspections in January and February 2012, though these are some time ago.

Prior to the current issues, there were three complaints in September 2019 concerning fence conditions, but these were unsubstantiated upon inspection. In terms of building systems, there were several service requests in April 2023 related to an electric/gas range, electrical wiring, flooring, and mold, though not all resulted in violations, with some complaints simply being closed without identified problems. The clustered nature of the recent violations in April 2023, particularly regarding pests and building maintenance issues, suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep that affect the living conditions in Unit 1.
