445 Jersey Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The 3-story, 5-unit building at 445 Jersey Street in St. George, owned by Craig Fine, has been in operation since 1900 and currently holds an "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation.

The property has experienced recurring administrative compliance issues in recent years, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with four open violations recorded between 2022 and 2024 all related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as per HPD regulations. Additionally, there are two open violations from March 2022 concerning improper posting of inspection certificates and building registration information in the first-story public hall, which remain unresolved. The building experienced a power outage incident in February 2022, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations issued.

Most concerningly, in April 2023, there was a complaint filed about potential illegal conversion of commercial space to dwelling units, though the inspector was unable to gain access during the inspection attempt. While rodent inspections from 2010 through 2017 generally show compliance with regulations (passing in 2017, 2016, 2014, and 2011, with two failures recorded in 2010), the open violations and recent complaint about possible illegal conversions suggest some ongoing management oversight issues. Given the age of the building and its documented history, the property has faced regulatory challenges that appear to have persisted over multiple years, particularly regarding building maintenance and record-keeping requirements.
