88 Montgomery Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

88 Montgomery Avenue is a three-story, three-unit Old Law Tenement building in St. George, Staten Island, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Joseph Ricca.

The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably multiple open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports from 2021 to 2024, and active violations for not completing required external low-pressure inspections for multiple years between 2018 and 2023. The building's heating and hot water systems have also been problematic, with a documented emergency heat/hot water complaint affecting the entire building in November 2018, which resulted in violations.

Specific issues noted in 2018 included inadequate heat and hot water in Apartment 1, a defective smoke detector in the same apartment, and locked access to the building's heating system in the public hall. While rodent inspections between 2014 and 2018 show mostly passing results, there was one failure in April 2018 for "Other Reasons," though no specific details were provided in the records. The building's record shows a pattern of safety-related violations, though many of them remain open and unresolved as of the latest inspection dates.
