336 Beach 70th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The three-story, three-unit building at 336 Beach 70th Street in Arverne, owned by Pinchas Yakobov, has shown a notable pattern of maintenance issues, particularly in recent years. Most concerning was a cluster of complaints in late 2023 regarding flooring, walls, and doors, all of which were closed without violations being issued.

In March 2021, the building experienced significant infrastructure problems, including a power outage and heat/hot water issues, though no violations were found during the subsequent HPD inspections. A violation was issued in 2021 for multiple safety concerns in the first-floor apartment, including defective electrical outlets, missing carbon monoxide detector, door issues, and missing smoke detector, though these were certified as corrected by April 2021. The building's maintenance history reveals regular inspections and reporting requirements being met, with all six bedbug reports between 2019 and 2025 showing zero cases of infestation.

The property underwent regular bedbug reporting as required by New York City's Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent report (May 2025) confirming no infestations in the past year. A rodent inspection conducted in September 2016 resulted in a passing grade, showing no rodent-related issues. While the building has had its share of maintenance complaints and violations, recent years (2022-2025) show improved compliance with reporting requirements and prompt resolution of complaints, though the HPD's 2023 inspections did not find violations related to the most recent complaints.
