154 Beach 114th Street, Queens, NY 11694

154 Beach 114th Street is a 23-unit, 3-story residential building located in Rockaway Park, built in 1930 and currently owned by Beach 114th Partners LLC. The building has experienced persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2022 and early 2025, including four such complaints in 2024 alone. These complaints were generally resolved quickly, with HPD confirming restoration of services in each case. The building has several active Housing Maintenance Code violations as of 2024, including requirements to repair self-closing doors in the entrance vestibule and to provide proper notices regarding gas leak procedures in the public hall.

Additionally, there are three open violations related to failure to provide completed certificates of inspection visits near mailboxes. The property has a history of mechanical system oversight, with multiple violations issued for failure to file annual inspection reports during 2018-2023 for both low-pressure systems and boiler inspections. Past Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 regarding Fire Department connections were resolved, though there is an active violation from 2023 concerning external low-pressure inspection filing. The building recently passed rodent inspections in 2024 and 2025, and has maintained an active bedbug report record showing mostly no infestations, with only one reported case in 2021 that was promptly addressed.

Historical plumbing issues were documented in 2020, though inspections found no violations at that time. A permit for work was issued in 2019, indicating some level of ongoing maintenance activity for the building. The data reveals a pattern of recurring heat and hot water issues as the most significant concern, along with several open maintenance violations that affect building safety and compliance. The property has generally maintained good pest management practices in recent years, with no active infestations reported since 2021. The building's age and associated infrastructure systems appear to require regular attention, as evidenced by the frequency of service requests and ongoing violations related to building systems and safety requirements.
