162 Beach 97th Street, Queens, NY 11693

162 Beach 97th Street is a 3-unit, 4-story residential building in Rockaway Park, constructed in 2007 and currently owned by Marc Marinoff. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concerns around moisture-related problems. In 2024 alone, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

Additionally, 2024 records show a significant heavy water flow issue reported through HPD. In late 2023, there was a cluster of emergencies including mold, electrical problems (no lighting), and flooring issues, all of which were addressed through HPD inspections. The building has documented water-related problems in Apartment 1A, including leaks affecting multiple walls, which were noted in Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2023.

The property underwent a comprehensive inspection on November 1, 2023, which resulted in several violations that were subsequently certified as corrected by December 11, 2023. These violations included issues with fire retardant plaster, wall paint requirements, and lighting conditions in common areas, as well as specific problems in Apartment 1A related to water leaks and plumbing infrastructure. The building's most recent rodent inspection in September 2024 passed without violations, and there have been no documented bedbug infestations in any of the recent annual reporting periods from 2022 through 2025. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges, many recent violations have been addressed, and there have been no pest-related complaints filed since mid-2024.
