169 Daniel Low Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 169 Daniel Low Terrace in St. George, owned by Luther Wilson and built in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years.

Most notably, in August 2024, the building was reported to have unsanitary conditions involving mold, which was classified as an emergency situation. Subsequent investigations in August 2024 revealed multiple violations related to unauthorized modifications in the cellar, including an illegal cooking space with an electrical stove and improper plumbing fixtures, both categorized as Class B violations. These issues also led to an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation with a $1,250 penalty for occupancy contrary to allowed building records, though the violation status remains active.

Additionally, there have been attempts to address these unauthorized modifications through inspections and complaints in late 2024, including a complaint about an illegal conversion that resulted in denied access during inspection attempts. While the building has maintained a passing record during rodent inspections from 2010 to 2022, with only one failed inspection in 2010, the recent pattern of violations and health hazard complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that require attention. The most recent available data, as of October 2023, shows these multiple open violations related to illegal modifications and safety concerns in the property.
