50 Fort Place, Staten Island, NY 10301

50 Fort Place is a 6-story, 108-unit residential building constructed in 1963 and currently owned by 50 Fort Place Cooperative Inc. The building has experienced recurring issues with pest infestations, particularly in 2023 when multiple violations were issued for roach infestations in apartments and common areas, including A1A, A2G, and the compactor closet.

More recently, in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding plumbing issues specifically related to radiators, as well as paint/plaster concerns affecting both radiators and ceilings. The building has had several notable violations requiring attention, including a hazardous condition in 2024 involving an obstructed fire escape ladder due to a sidewalk shed, which resulted in a $5,000 penalty, and a failure to submit required parking structure inspection documentation with an associated penalty of $2,500. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free statuses over the past several years, with official reports from 2019 through 2024 indicating zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The building's maintenance history shows periodic heating system inspections, with one incident in December 2023 resulting in a violation for hot water exceeding 130 degrees in apartment B2G. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to plumbing and pest control, many complaints have been closed without violations being issued, typically due to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection. The property's aged infrastructure demonstrates ongoing maintenance challenges typical of older buildings in the area, requiring regular attention to various systems and services.
