30 Taft Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

30 Taft Avenue is a 3-story, 3-unit old law tenement building located in St. George and built in 1901, currently owned by Shinjier Yang.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past several years, with the most recent significant violations including an open Class A bedbug reporting violation from April 2024 requiring annual reporting compliance. The property has a documented history of pest problems, including multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions due to pests in late 2018, and rodent activity inspections with variable results between 2012 and 2021, including confirmed rat activity in May 2021 and a failed inspection in March 2021. In late 2018, the building faced multiple simultaneous issues including problems with heat and hot water, water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), and pest-related violations, all of which resulted in issued violations.

Additional issues were documented during inspections, including a December 2018 violation in the 3rd floor apartment related to hot water and smoke detector problems. The building's records show consistent monitoring and some resolution of these issues over time, though some violations, such as a 2018 requirement regarding heating system access notification, remain in open status as of the most recent inspection dates. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with the most recent reports from 2022-2023 showing zero infested units, though previous reports from 2020-2021 noted the eradication of three units' infestations.
