150 Beach 115th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The 17-unit, 3-story building at 150 Beach 115th Street in Rockaway Park, owned by Mathew Safos, was constructed in 1910 and is currently classified as a Class A multiple dwelling. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water system failures, with six emergency complaints documented between December 2024 and February 2025, though all were resolved within a few days of reporting.

The building faced several sanitation challenges in 2023, including pest infestations (mice and bedbugs) in Apartment B6 on multiple occasions in August 2023, and garbage/recycling storage issues in September 2023 that resulted in violations. A significant safety concern emerged in 2024 when the Environmental Control Board issued a violation regarding a detached handrail on the porch, though this was subsequently resolved, and there is currently one open violation from January 2024 related to defective ceramic tile flooring in the public hall stairs. The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2025, showing no recorded infestations in the past four reporting periods.

While there were multiple complaints regarding heating and sanitation issues in 2023-2024, most were promptly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). The property received several violations in late 2023 related to waste management and safety requirements, including issues with garbage receptacles and accumulated refuse in the public areas, though these violations were later certified as corrected in November 2023. Historical records from 2016-2017 indicate the property passed multiple rodent inspections, suggesting relatively effective pest management prior to the 2023 infestations.
