121-16 Ocean Promenade, Queens, NY 11694

121-16 Ocean Promenade, a 65-unit, 6-story residential building constructed in 1954, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between 2022 and 2023 indicating building-wide system failures. Most recently, in October 2023, there were two heat/hot water complaints within a single day, though tenants reported that services had been restored. The building has also faced security concerns, particularly in 2022, when violations were noted regarding the front entrance door security system, resulting in citations for both an illegal electromagnetic locking device and inadequate power outage security measures.

The property has maintained a generally good record regarding pest control, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing zero infested units. Recent activity includes a 2025 complaint regarding safety equipment/signs at a pool/sauna facility, though this issue was referred to the Department of Parks and Recreation. Past building maintenance violations from 2021-2022 included issues with heat/hot water systems, security systems, and the need for proper documentation display near mailboxes.

The building underwent facade-related work in 2018-2020, with permits issued for exterior work, though some violations related to facade safety reporting were recorded in the Environmental Control Board records. The building's record shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with consistent filings showing no infestations. While multiple heating system complaints indicate a persistent maintenance challenge, the property's violation history shows prompt attention to most issues, with many citations being closed following necessary corrections. Recent history suggests ongoing attention to building systems, though the recurring nature of heat/hot water complaints indicates this remains a notable maintenance focus area.
