259 Beach 125th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 259 Beach 125th Street in Belle Harbor, owned by Andrew Amplo, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1925. Most significantly, the property faced multiple emergency maintenance issues in July 2018, including reports of mold, plumbing problems with basins/sinks, and appliance-related concerns involving electric/gas ranges.

However, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions at the time. The building has also had consistent bedbug reporting requirements, with violations noted in 2021-2024 for failing to file the necessary annual bedbug reports, though recent filings indicate no active infestations. Between 2020 and 2023, the building maintained a clean record with no reported infestations (0 infested dwelling units) in the annual bedbug filings, with all units showing eradication status.

More recently, in 2024, there was an investigation related to illegal hotel rooms in the building, though inspectors were again unable to gain access during their attempts. The property has also had one documented Housing Maintenance Code violation in June 2018 regarding mail receptacles and directories, which was subsequently certified as resolved in July 2018. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues and violations, it's worth noting that the most recent bedbug filings show complete compliance with eradication procedures and report requirements, with no current active infestations or violations on record as of the latest data available in 2023.
