36 Sherman Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 36 Sherman Avenue in St. George, owned by Julia Gomez and built in 1990, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most concerning period occurring in 2019. In May 2019, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heat and hot water systems, including an emergency situation with water temperature (144 degrees), lack of hot water at all fixtures, and a defective carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1.

Additionally, there were recurring electrical problems including power outages, lighting issues, and defective outlets/switches during the same period, with multiple 311 complaints being filed but often resulting in HPD's inability to gain access for inspection. The building also faced sanitary challenges, with complaints about mold in both May 2019 and earlier in 2019, though some were resolved by May 30, 2019. More recently, in September 2023, a zoning violation was recorded regarding a deck or balcony constructed with combustible materials, though this issue appears to have been resolved with no penalties imposed.

On the positive side, the building has consistently passed rodent inspections between 2012 and 2019, with only one failure noted in February 2012, suggesting effective pest management over the years. While many of the 2019 issues were addressed or closed, some violations remained open for periods of time, particularly regarding hot water systems and mold conditions. The building is a three-story structure with two units, and aside from the above-mentioned issues, there are no other significant violations or complaints on record through the available data period up to 2023.
