240 Beach 120th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The three-story, formerly converted Class B building at 240 Beach 120th Street in Rockaway Park, owned by Ilana Weinstein, has a history of bedbug report compliance issues and recent construction-related activities. Between 2021 and 2024, the building accrued multiple Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD, with the most recent open violation dating from April 2024.

While the bedbug infestation count for the 2019-2020 reporting period showed no affected units, the consistent failure to file timely reports raises concerns about proper compliance with pest management protocols. In 2023, two significant Department of Buildings complaints were recorded regarding unpermitted construction work at an adjacent property (11694 Beach 120th Street), including a description of unauthorized garage construction measuring 20' x 20' x 13', which is actively under violation.

These construction-related issues were the subject of a Special Operations Compliance Inspection, and while a Stop Work Order was eventually fully rescinded in December 2023, the absence of proper permits and plans during construction raised safety concerns. The building itself has not been directly implicated in these construction-related violations, but the proximity and nature of the complaints suggest attention to proper permitting and construction practices in the neighborhood.
