201 Hamilton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

201 Hamilton Avenue, a 6-story, 316-unit apartment building constructed in 1929 in St. George, has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, the property has faced recurring issues with water damage, including heavy water flow incidents reported in March 2025.

The building has also contended with persistent mold problems, with at least three mold-related complaints recorded between March and June 2025, some categorized as emergency situations. Pests have been another ongoing concern, with multiple reports in 2025, including two complaints in June 2025. The property has undergone various inspections and received several housing maintenance code violations, particularly affecting Unit 4A in December 2024, which documented issues with electrical outlets, window mechanisms, and other maintenance concerns, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building has a documented history of elevator-related issues, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2022 regarding single-device service and no alternate service, though most were determined to have no violations at the time of inspection.

A more recent boiler violation from December 2024 remains active, with a penalty of $625. The property has shown some improvement in recent months, with no reported bedbug infestations in the latest 2023-2024 reporting period, though there was a notable uptick in bedbug activity in the 2021-2022 period. Rodent inspections have produced mixed results, with some passing inspections in 2023 and 2024, but showing rat activity in early 2024. While many of the recent housing maintenance code complaints were closed without violations being found, the pattern of repeated complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
