111-10 Rockaway Beach Blvd, Queens, NY 11694

The 9-unit, 2-story building at 111-10 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Kenneth Swan, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in 2025. Currently, there are ongoing investigations by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene regarding a sewage leak, while recent complaints from May 2025 have documented issues with mold, fire escape conditions, and multiple pest-related problems.

These maintenance issues follow a pattern of building management challenges, including three open violations from 2023-2024 related to bedbug reporting requirements, and multiple safety violations identified during a 2022 inspection requiring updates to smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and various signage requirements in common areas. The building has a history of infrastructure-related challenges, including two power outages in 2018-2019 that required immediate emergency responses, and a heat and hot water emergency in December 2019.

A 2022 inspection revealed multiple regulatory compliance issues that were eventually certified as corrected in 2023, including window repairs required in the laundry room. While there have been no documented bedbug infestations in any unit since at least 2019 according to the building's bedbug reporting history, and rodent inspections from 2016 showed failed results for "other reasons," there have been no reported rodent issues in recent years. The property's inspection records indicate periodic infrastructure improvements and routine maintenance requirements, with permitted work documented in 2018 for unspecified exterior work.
