235 Beach 86th Street, Queens, NY 11693

The two-family house at 235 Beach 86th Street in Rockaway Beach, New York, built in 1910 and owned by Gary Benavidez, has experienced several significant maintenance issues during 2022 that warrant attention. The property has an open Housing Maintenance Code violation from July 2022 in Apartment 1 related to inadequate hot and cold water supply, specifically citing problems with both hot water and cold water availability at all fixtures.

The same inspection also identified issues requiring attention to a defective carbon monoxide detector and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in one room. Multiple emergency complaints were filed throughout 2022, with particular concerns about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with electrical wiring concerns.

Notably, there were at least three instances (in May and September) where housing inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate reported heat and hot water issues. While some complaints (such as the plumbing issue from April 2022) resulted in inspections with no violations issued, the frequency and nature of these complaints suggest persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding essential services like water supply and heating systems. The most recent data available shows these issues remained unresolved as of October 2023.
