AI summary · updated June 2026

172 Beach 127th Street is a 10-unit, 3-story residential building located in Belle Harbor, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Elizabeth Connors. The building's record shows several notable issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns centered around violations of building and safety codes. In January 2022, three significant violations were documented, including a sagging porch roof with rotted ceiling compromising structural stability (current penalty $6,250), removal or defacement of a posted vacate order related to an occupied second-floor deck, and an illegal parking violation. More recently, in August 2024, there were violations related to unpermitted electrical work, specifically the installation of new recessed lighting, for which a $1,600 penalty was imposed.

The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, evidenced by a December 2022 complaint that required HPD intervention, though the problem was reportedly resolved at that time. The property has also had documentation requirements and inspection issues, notably concerning annual bedbug reporting and external low-pressure system inspections, though recent filings (December 2024) indicate no current infestations. The building's violation history shows a pattern of delayed compliance with inspection requirements, with multiple DOB violations issued for failure to file external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023. While some violations have been dismissed, several remain active or were recently issued, including a 2024 violation for failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection. The bedbug reporting records for 2022-2023 show zero infested units, indicating successful management of this particular issue when it previously occurred.
