309 Beach 70th Street, Queens, NY 11692

The two-family house at 309 Beach 70th Street in Arverne, owned by Kelly Anaya, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in early 2023. Between January and March 2023, there were several concerning incidents involving heat and hot water systems, with multiple complaints about lack of heat or hot water in both apartments, including emergencies on February 15 and March 4.

The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with complaints about toilets, water supply issues, and sink problems during early 2023, some of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Additional concerns during this period included electrical problems, with violations noted for burned and melted electrical outlets, and issues with flooring. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved violations, with open Class C violations as of February 2023 related to inadequate water supply, heating system problems, and electrical issues in Apartment 1.

Prior to these issues, there was a gas utility referral complaint in July 2021, though access was denied for inspection. In terms of building condition, a rodent inspection conducted in February 2018 resulted in a passing grade. The frequency and nature of the complaints in early 2023, particularly regarding fundamental services like heat, hot water, and plumbing, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted despite multiple attempts at inspection and resolution.
