216 Beach 100th Street, Queens, NY 11694

This three-unit, three-story residential building at 216 Beach 100th Street in Rockaway Park was constructed in 2006 and is currently owned by Yiddy Lebowitz. The property has experienced several maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in December 2023, including multiple complaints about ceiling paint/plaster damage, water leaks (heavy flow), mold presence, and lighting problems.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations during their inspections of these December 2023 complaints, which were documented as both emergency and immediate emergency problems. More recently, in July 2024, the building received new Housing Maintenance Code violations related to defective self-closing doors at both the front entrance and Apartment 2, which are still listed as open violations. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water damage and unsanitary conditions, dating back to 2021 when there were complaints about pests and slow water leaks that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The property has undergone rodent inspections in 2010-2011, all of which passed, and has maintained a consistent record of no reported bedbug infestations since 2020, with the most recent filings in 2025 showing zero infested or previously infested units. While the building has met certain inspection requirements in the past, the recent surge of maintenance issues in late 2023, particularly regarding water damage, mold, and structural elements like doors, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The presence of open violations as of 2024 indicates that some longer-term maintenance issues remain unresolved, though previous violations from August 2023 concerning self-closing doors were closed following repairs in September 2023.
