109-24 Rockaway Beach Blvd, Queens, NY 11694

This two-family house at 109-24 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, owned by Salvatore Chieffo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in July 2023, there was a safety concern regarding a broken or missing window guard, though this complaint was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and ultimately closed without violations being issued.

The property has faced recurring issues with fencing compliance, with multiple complaints recorded between 2023 and 2024 regarding inadequate or illegal fencing, though at least one of these complaints was corrected according to a February 2025 inspection. An Environmental Control Board violation was issued in October 2024 for failure to maintain building conditions, specifically noting problems with front railings and windows, resulting in a $655 penalty that remains due.

Earlier complaints from 2023 included an allegation of illegal conversion, which was investigated but no violations were found. The building's rodent inspections from 2017 show initial failure for various reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection that same year resulted in a passing grade. While some issues have been addressed and closed through official inspections, the ongoing pattern of safety and maintenance concerns—especially regarding window safety and building materials—suggests a need for continued monitoring.
