308 Beach 70th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 308 Beach 70th Street in Arverne, owned by Antoinette Statler, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2004, with the most recent problems centering around sanitation and plumbing. In 2025, there were reports of unsanitary sewage conditions that HPD attempted to inspect but could not access. In 2023, multiple violations were documented in the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), including issues with pests (roaches and mice), water leaks, damaged ceiling surfaces, and problems with ceiling fans and light fixtures.

The building had persistent problems in 2018-2019 regarding heat and hot water systems, electrical lighting, and appliance maintenance, particularly a refrigerator that generated multiple complaints and violations. While some of the 2023 violations were certified as resolved by June 2023, there remain open violations from 2019 concerning gas leak procedures and refrigerator door gaskets. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and sanitation issues, with several emergency complaints regarding water supply problems in 2022-2023, including unsanitary conditions and standing water.

While many complaints have been addressed through inspections and repairs, the recurring nature of issues, particularly in Apartment 2, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building underwent inspections and received violation notices from various agencies including HPD and DOHMH, with documented problems including pest infestations, electrical issues, and heating system concerns. The most recent documented violation from June 2023 involved a roach infestation, water leak, ceiling damage, and missing fixtures in Apartment 2.
