28 Montgomery Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

28 Montgomery Avenue is a two-family residence built in 1920, currently owned by Arz Oropeza, located in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island. The property has experienced a series of maintenance and infrastructure issues over recent years, with significant problems occurring between 2019 and 2022.

Between 2019 and 2023, the building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, sewage-related issues, and various unsanitary conditions including mold, pest infestations, and drainage problems. The most recent concerning issue, as of May 2024, involves an active Environmental Control Board violation regarding improper drainage from roof gutters, with a $500 penalty imposed for failure to maintain code compliance. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges, particularly in 2019-2020 when multiple violations were noted including problems with lighting, ceilings, windows, and an infestation of pests in both apartments. While many violations from this period were eventually closed, several remain active or were only recently addressed.

The property has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2010 and 2017, with multiple failures recorded in 2010, though more recent inspections show improvement with passing results. There's also a record of a complaint regarding illegal conversion from 2018, though this was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" during inspection. The building's plumbing and drainage systems have been a recurring concern, with the most recent issues documented in 2022-2024 showing an ongoing pattern of infrastructure challenges that require attention. This report is based on available data up to October 2023, and while efforts have been made to summarize the building's history accurately, there may be additional context or recent developments not captured in these records.
