215 Beach 117th Street, Queens, NY 11694

215 Beach 117th Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building located in Rockaway Park, owned by Christopher Hauhie and constructed in 1905. The property has a concerning pattern of unresolved bedbug report violations, with open class A Housing Maintenance Code violations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, indicating non-compliance with mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements to the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These repeated violations suggest ongoing regulatory non-compliance over multiple years. The building experienced structural and safety-related concerns in 2019, when two complaints were filed: one regarding potentially blocked emergency egress (though no violation was found upon inspection) and another related to building shaking and vibration, for which an Oath violation was served.

An associated Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation from July 2019 remains actively open, detailing significant damage to the building's exterior, with approximately 10 linear feet of missing and hanging vinyl siding on the third floor of one exposure, and a 15-foot by 10-foot section of missing siding on a different exposure; this violation carries an imposed penalty of $6,250, which remains unpaid as of the current date. While the building has maintained its classification as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, the pattern of maintenance code violations and the structural issues documented in 2019 underscore ongoing concerns about building maintenance and safety compliance.
