98-18 Rockaway Beach Blvd, Queens, NY 11694

98-18 Rockaway Beach Blvd is a 3-story, 10-unit residential building constructed in 1930, currently owned by Seckel Realty Trust in the Rockaway Park neighborhood. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with emergency heat/hot water complaints filed by tenants in multiple units and for the entire building during late 2022 and early 2023. These complaints, while officially closed, indicate ongoing concerns with building-wide systems during that period.

The building has also been subject to several notable code violations between 2021-2024, including a 2022 violation for failing to post required safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and bedbug reporting requirements. A specific door self-closing mechanism issue was documented in 2022 at apartment B1. More recent records from 2024 show two violations related to the failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection, though these were subsequently dismissed in early 2025.

Notably, the building's 2025 bedbug report shows zero infestation cases during the 2023-2024 reporting period, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation, suggesting improved pest management practices. The property has maintained regular compliance with housing maintenance code requirements regarding bedbug reporting in recent filings, reporting zero infested units and no eradicated or re-infested units as of May 2025. While there have been multiple violations and complaints over the past few years, the most recent documentation indicates some progress in terms of pest control and code compliance.
