226 Beach 118th Street, Queens, NY 11694

226 Beach 118th Street is a three-story, three-unit residential building located in Rockaway Park, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by John McGovern. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past five years, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, particularly during the heating seasons of 2019-2020 and 2020-2021.

These complaints resulted in several emergency housing maintenance code violations, although inspections generally found no violations or confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored. The building's most recent inspection history shows recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, with open violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

A cluster of safety-related violations was documented in March 2020, including failures to properly post notices regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector requirements, though most of these were subsequently closed by June 2020. During the same period, there were violations related to self-closing doors at the vestibule of the first story public hall. The building's regulatory history suggests ongoing management challenges, with particular attention needed to address both heating system reliability and pest control compliance.
