260 Beach 81st Street, Queens, NY 11693

The 260 Beach 81st Street building is a 6-story, 103-unit residential structure built in 2005 and currently owned by Gary Andriotis. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns in 2022 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks and ventilation system problems between January and February. These issues, though classified as either general or emergency complaints, were all investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and resulted in no violations being issued.

Historical records reveal previous maintenance concerns, including an active violation from 2014 related to ceiling conditions in apartment 6M, which required proper painting and roof repairs to address water leakage issues. More recent complaints have been minimal, with the most recent building inspection in 2025 resulting in no violations, though there are two active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from December 2020 that remain unaddressed as of the latest information available. Importantly, 260 Beach 81st Street has maintained an exemplary record regarding bedbug infestations, with multiple annual filings between 2019 and 2025 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation.

A complaint regarding excessive debris was made in 2025, which was promptly investigated and found to have no violations. The building has also had minimal issues with mosquitoes, with only one complaint filed in 2020 that was addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While there have been several maintenance issues over the years, particularly during 2014-2017, the property has shown improvement in recent years, with no recurring pattern of violations or infestations. The building's age and location in Rockaway Beach suggest that some maintenance issues are typical for this type of structure, though the management appears to address complaints promptly when violations are issued.
