AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, two-family house at 129-18 Newport Avenue in Belle Harbor, owned by Sean Heeran, was constructed in 2016. The property has experienced several notable incidents over its history, with particular attention required for recent developments. As of June 2023, the building has active violations for failing to file the required external low-pressure inspections for 2018 and 2019, which remain unresolved as of the current date in July 2025. The building's regulatory history shows multiple permit issuances in 2019, including plumbing and electrical work, though specific details on their scope and current status are not provided.

The property has experienced various health and safety-related incidents, including three documented complaints to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Two incidents in late 2021 related to vaccine mandate non-compliance concerning customer proof of vaccination checks were promptly investigated and closed, while a food establishment compliance issue from 2020 involving bare hands in contact with food was administratively closed with confirmation that it had been addressed. More recently, there is an active DOHMH complaint from June 2022 regarding food poisoning affecting three or more individuals, which remains in progress as of October 2023. Additionally, the building has undergone two inspections by the Department of Buildings in 2018 and 2019, one regarding sustainability enforcement (no violations found) and another concerning certificate of occupancy issues, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt.
