328 Beach 89th Street, Queens, NY 11693

328 Beach 89th Street is a 3-story, 4-unit residential building in Rockaway Beach, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by William Hetzler. The property has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly focusing on Unit 1, which has multiple open violations from April 2023.

These violations are serious and include problems with water leaks in both the kitchen and bathroom ceilings, pest infestations (both mice and roaches), missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and various appliance and fixture repairs needed in the kitchen. The building has also faced recurring plumbing issues, with the most recent complaint regarding water supply problems in March 2025, and multiple incidents in April 2023 involving tub/shower problems, heavy water flow, and other plumbing concerns. The property has documented several unsanitary conditions over the past three years, including pest issues in both 2022 and 2023.

Multiple complaints were filed in April 2023 regarding various maintenance problems, including electrical issues with lighting and problems with paint/plaster surfaces. Importantly, there are currently open violations from April 2023 related to bedbug reporting requirements and multiple housing maintenance code violations, including those specifying the need to address rodent and insect infestations, repair water leaks, and ensure proper safety equipment installation. While some previous complaints have been resolved, as evidenced by closed cases, the persistence of multiple open violations as of 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
