187 Beach 133rd Street, Queens, NY 11694

The building at 187 Beach 133rd Street in Belle Harbor is a 3-story, 3-unit residential property built in 1929, currently owned by Natalie Fugardi. The building's recent history shows recurring compliance issues with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent violation in April 2024 remaining open, while previous violations in 2023, 2022, and 2021 had been closed.

Interestingly, the bedbug report for the period from November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infested units, though this did not prevent subsequent reporting violations. More recently, in early 2024, there were several concerning incidents: two complaints were filed regarding building conditions, one related to defective/exposed electrical wiring (April 2024) and another about work being done without proper permits (January 2024). The electrical issue was documented in the Environmental Control Board violations, specifically regarding an improperly installed split AC unit on the first floor, though this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's documented history suggests ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements despite periods with no reported infestations. The most pressing recent concerns involve electrical safety, with a documented case of exposed wiring and an improperly installed AC unit that required resolution through the Environmental Control Board process. While some of these issues have been addressed, as evidenced by closed complaints and resolved violations, the pattern of bedbug reporting violations and the recent electrical issues indicates that maintaining regulatory compliance has been an ongoing challenge for this property.
