138-11 Beach Channel Drive, Queens, NY 11694

The two-story, 41-unit residential building at 138-11 Beach Channel Drive in Belle Harbor, owned by Robert Rampino and constructed in 1950, has experienced several notable incidents and inspections over recent years. Most concerning was a 2019 drinking water-related complaint filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate properly.

The building has undergone regular safety inspections, with three completed in 2023 (Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections and Tenant Safety Inspection) showing no violations at the time of inspection. However, there is currently an active violation as of June 2023 related to a failure to file the 2018 External Low Pressure Inspection. Historical records show an Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 regarding improper flue support materials, though this was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's maintenance and health record appears relatively stable, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past six years (2024-2019), and no significant building-wide health or safety issues documented since the 2019 drinking water complaint. Previous Department of Buildings inspections in 2019 related to worker site conditions found no violations. While the building has had some administrative compliance issues (such as the failure to file benchmarking reports in 2019 and the 2018 inspection), these appear to be procedural rather than indicative of safety concerns, particularly given the recent clean inspections in 2023.
