4-05 Beach 138th Street, Queens, NY 11694

The three-unit residential building at 4-05 Beach 138th Street in Belle Harbor, owned by Monica Matrisciani, has been subject to recurring regulatory scrutiny over the past several years. Most notably, there are four open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with the most recent citation in April 2024, and similar violations documented in March 2023, March 2022, and April 2021.

These violations indicate non-compliance with the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirements set forth by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Between 2019 and 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions of the property, with five separate reports filed between May 2019 and November 2019.

All these complaints were ultimately closed, but it's noteworthy that inspectors were unable to gain access to the property on multiple occasions during their final attempt to investigate these concerns. Additionally, in August 2020, two complaints were filed regarding work without a permit involving an adjacent building, though both were closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The building, which was constructed in 1920 and is classified as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property, is experiencing ongoing compliance issues that warrant monitoring, particularly regarding its adherence to bedbug reporting requirements.
