186 Beach 127th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 186 Beach 127th Street in Belle Harbor, owned by Michael Sito, was constructed in 1987 and has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, particularly between 2021-2022. The most significant concern emerged in August 2021, when multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and mold were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in at least two official violations, one of which was classified as an emergency.

The building also faced violations related to bedbug reporting compliance, with inspections in April 2021 and March 2022 noting this issue under Housing Maintenance Code violations. Specific documented violations in Apartment 2 (first story) included multiple citations for broken or defective plastered surfaces and paint issues on the east wall in two different rooms, as well as a violation for defective carbon monoxide detecting devices, all recorded during September 2021 inspections.

While these violations were recorded as "Open," the bedbug reporting requirements appear to have been resolved, with the most recent five annual bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating no infestations, eradications, or re-infested units. The building's most recent documented condition shows improved compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, though the status of the previously noted plaster and carbon monoxide detector violations remains unclear as of October 2023.
