246 Beach 122nd Street, Queens, NY 11694

The two-story, five-unit residential building at 246 Beach 122nd Street in Rockaway Park, owned by Lenin Aviles and constructed in 1929, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, the building has multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, with citations issued in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC.

In April 2024, the building experienced multiple maintenance complaints under both 311 Service Requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, including issues with flooring/stairs, doors/windows, and paint/plaster on walls and ceilings. While these complaints received emergency categorization, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspections, resulting in closed complaints with instructions to refile if issues persisted. Additionally, there was a complaint in April 2024 regarding building shaking/vibrating/structural stability, though this was investigated on April 9, 2024, and no violations were warranted at the time of inspection.

The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep and responsiveness to maintenance issues, particularly regarding both bedbug reporting compliance and access for inspection of reported problems. While some recent complaints were categorized as non-emergency, their clustering in April 2024 indicates potential ongoing maintenance concerns. The property has maintained its classification as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" building.
