3-63 Beach 87th Street, Queens, NY 11693

The 2-family house at 3-63 Beach 87th Street in Rockaway Beach, owned by Valerie Okonkwo, is a 2-story building constructed in 1990. The property has experienced notable maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations emerging in May 2024 that remain open as of August 2024. These violations include water leaks affecting ceilings, mold conditions, electrical issues, and problems with various fixtures and appliances.

There is a significant concern regarding mold that was documented in May 2024, particularly affecting the ceiling and north wall in the 2nd floor apartment, which was classified as a Class B violation. The building has also experienced ongoing issues with various systems, including multiple complaints about the electric/gas range and intercom system between 2020 and 2024, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections showing mixed results between 2011 and 2015, with the most recent inspection in 2015 passing compliance.

A troubling pattern emerges from the data, with multiple violations related to paint/plaster conditions, ceilings, and various structural elements that appear to affect the 2nd floor apartment consistently. The 311 service requests from May 2024 alone generated multiple citations for unsanitary conditions, ceiling problems, plumbing issues, and general maintenance concerns, many of which resulted in violations being issued. The building's history also includes an unresolved complaint from 2018 regarding a Certificate of Occupancy issue, though this matter ended with inspectors unable to gain access. While some violations and complaints have been marked as closed, including several from 2024, the persistent nature of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
