232 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301

The 8-unit, 3-story residential building at 232 Richmond Terrace in St. George, owned by Enrico Ferrara and constructed in 1920, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2024 and 2021. Most recently, in September 2024, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 2, including issues with mildew around the bathtub, broken vinyl tiles in the kitchen, defective wood window frames, and various problems with plaster surfaces, paint, and fixtures.

An emergency complaint regarding mold and paint/plaster issues in August 2024 was also documented. The building underwent several tenant safety inspections in early 2022 and late 2021, though no violations were found in these inspections. Earlier maintenance history shows multiple paint/plaster-related complaints in 2021, including issues with walls, ceilings, and radiators, although these complaints were closed without violations being issued. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations in the annual reports from 2020 through 2024.

A rodent inspection conducted in January 2023 passed, indicating no significant rodent problems at that time. The building has undergone periodic tenant safety inspections, with the most recent being in 2022, where no violations were found. While there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints, the majority were resolved promptly and did not result in ongoing violations, with most complaints being classified as non-emergency. The owner has generally responded to complaints and violations, as evidenced by the certification of compliance for the 2024 violations in October 2024, though this compliance occurred approximately one month after the initial inspection.
