318 Beach 86th Street, Queens, NY 11693

Recent inspections and service requests for 318 Beach 86th Street in Rockaway Beach have revealed several concerning patterns, particularly regarding unit maintenance issues. Most notably, on October 4, 2024, multiple violations were issued, including mold problems, window frame issues, and paint/plaster defects on walls and ceilings. The violations, primarily affecting Apartment 1, included mold on the north wall, defective window sashes, pest infestation (cockroaches), and problems with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Other recent service requests have centered around water leaks, electrical issues, and various maintenance concerns, though some complaints were found to have no violations upon inspection. The building, which was constructed in 2005 and contains three stories, is currently managed by Yfat LLC. While the most recent bedbug reports from 2020 through 2024 show no infestations or eradication efforts, the pattern of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

The property has previously experienced issues with water leaks (documented in both May and January 2024), mold (January 2024), and a heating/hot water complaint in January 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. The October 2024 violations all have certified correction dates ranging from November 1-21, 2024, including repairs to window guards, smoke detectors, and plaster surfaces, though it's noted these corrections were required under current housing maintenance codes. The building's history shows some persistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding moisture control and window functionality, despite the relatively recent construction date.
