79 Brook Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

79 Brook Street is a two-story, two-family house located in St. George, Staten Island, built in 1925 and currently owned by Robert Moore. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2FL).

In December 2018, multiple violations were documented, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, insufficient cooking gas for the kitchen range, and the absence of carbon monoxide detectors, though these were later resolved. More recently, in August 2021, there was a door-related issue at the building's front entrance that resulted in an open violation for a defective locking device. The property has also experienced plumbing problems, evidenced by an emergency water supply complaint in August 2020.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of emergency service requests, with three separate incidents requiring HPD intervention between 2018 and 2021. The rodent inspection records reveal a concerning history of rat activity between 2014 and 2017, with multiple instances of infestation despite some subsequent compliance passes. The most recent rodent inspections indicate improved conditions, with building-wide inspections showing compliance since 2017. While many historical issues have been addressed, the presence of open violations as of October 2023, particularly regarding the building's front door security, should be noted, though this report cannot provide information on any potential resolutions that may have occurred after this date.
