65 Brook Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-story, two-family house at 65 Brook Street in St. George, owned by Kenneth Colacino, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest issues over recent years. Most notably, in early 2023, the property faced multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions including mold and garbage/recycling storage problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections.

Of greater concern are the open housing maintenance code violations from May 2020, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment, which include documented roach and mouse infestations, water leakage issues, and various repair needs including broken floor tiles, plaster surfaces, and a missing cabinet door. The building also experienced several plumbing and heating complaints in 2020, primarily concerning hot water availability. The property has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints between 2020-2023 related to rodents and general unsanitary conditions.

While initial rodent inspections conducted in 2014, 2016, and 2017 reportedly passed, more recent complaints suggest ongoing issues. The building's maintenance history shows several instances where HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in 2020, and while recent complaints in 2023 regarding doors and windows were classified as emergencies, they were ultimately closed without violations being found. The combination of open violations from 2020 and more recent complaints suggests that some maintenance and pest control issues may persist in the building.
