135 Beach 124th Street, Queens, NY 11694

This three-family, three-story building located at 135 Beach 124th Street in Rockaway Park, owned by Matthew Kilstein, has a documented history of maintenance issues and regulatory violations since at least 2020. Most notably, there are current active Environmental Control Board violations from June 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy and unpermitted pavement work in the yard area, with associated fines totaling $1,000. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints in late 2022, with several inspection access issues and at least one violation noted.

Emergency housing maintenance complaints from December 2022 revealed problems requiring attention, including issues with doors/windows, mold, pests, and safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors). The property has recurring rodent-related issues, with failed inspections recorded in late 2022 and 2020, though a bedbug report filed for the period ending October 2022 indicated no infestation. The building's regulatory compliance history shows some recent progress, as violations related to lead-based paint records from April 2023 have been closed.

The Department of Buildings has received multiple complaints regarding illegal conversion, though several inspections have resulted in "No Violation Warranted" findings. While some complaints have been resolved, multiple open violations and complaints remain active, primarily concerning occupancy issues and safety system requirements. The most recent building inspection in April 2024 noted the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, which remains the only open violation as of October 2023.
