229 Beach 120th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The three-story building at 229 Beach 120th Street in Rockaway Park, owned by Michelle Sandaas and dating back to 1929, has several concerning open violations that warrant attention. Most notably, there are ongoing Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations.

Additionally, there are five active Department of Buildings (DOB) violations from June 2023, all concerning the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for the years 2018 through 2022. These safety-related inspection failures, alongside the consistent bedbug reporting violations, suggest potential regulatory non-compliance and safety concerns within the building.

On the more recent front, there was a DOHMH complaint in June 2025 regarding safety equipment or signs at a beach/pool/sauna facility, though this was determined to be outside the agency's jurisdiction and referred to the Department of Parks and Recreation. The building has had multiple permit issuances over the past several years, with significant activity recorded in 2019, 2021, and 2022, though the exact nature of these permits (including plumbing and alteration work) was not detailed in the provided data. While the presence of permits indicates some level of maintenance and improvements, the outstanding violations related to both pest control reporting and required safety inspections suggest that these issues have not been adequately addressed.
