# 259 Beach 12th Street, Far Rockaway-Bayswater, Queens, NY 11691 BBL 4156190010 · Block 15619 · Lot 10 · BIN 4299112 Canonical page: https://nycpropertyfacts.com/ny/queens/259-beach-12th-street-4156190010 Last updated: 2026-10-31 · Open-item counts as of 2026-11-10 ## Summary 259 Beach 12th Street (Queens, NY 11691; tax lot BBL 4156190010) is a two-family home (building class B2: two-family home, frame (wood)), built around 1930, on a 4,000 sq ft lot zoned R5. City tax records list the owner as 259 BEACH LLC; per ACRIS, a deed to this owner dated September 30, 2020 lists a price of $875,000 in a deed covering 2 lots. The Department of Finance's final market value for tax year 2027 is $900,000. As of November 10, 2026, NYC Open Data shows no open DOB jobs, no active DOB, DOB NOW safety or ECB violations and no open HPD violations for this lot, but it does show two OATH tickets with an unpaid balance. An unpaid OATH ticket is a fine the city says is still owed. It is counted separately from violations, so this lot has no open violations but is not free of outstanding items. There were four 311 requests in the past 12 months and no HPD complaints since 2019. (Source: NYC Open Data — DOB, HPD, OATH, DOF, DCP and ACRIS datasets — compiled by NYC Property Facts.)
