134 Beach 125th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The three-story, 24-unit residential building at 134 Beach 125th Street in Rockaway Park has undergone several significant events over the past four years, with particular attention needed to its elevator safety systems and rodent management. Most recently, in June 2023, a rat sighting was reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found during their inspection.

The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports from 2019 through 2025, with all submissions indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective management of this issue despite receiving multiple violation notices between 2021-2023 regarding late bedbug report filings. Of particular concern was an elevator safety violation in early 2021, where it was discovered that no door lock monitoring had been installed in the controller as mandated by the 2014 NYC Building Code, resulting in a $1,250 penalty.

Although this violation was eventually resolved, the building has continued to show a pattern of elevator-related issues, including a 2021 complaint about a single device with no alternate service, which led to an OATH summons preparation. More recently, the building underwent rodent inspections in July 2023 and March 2023, passing both checks. While the property owner, Frank Dima, has addressed many violations since their issuance, these recurring elevator and rodent-related issues, along with the historical pattern of late bedbug reporting, warrant attention as potential quality-of-life concerns for residents.
