51 Taft Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 51 Taft Avenue in St. George, currently owned by Michael Lucca, was built in 1920 and consists of two stories. The most significant documented issues occurred in March-April 2019, when Apartment 1 (1st story) experienced multiple maintenance problems that necessitated inspection by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

During this period, the apartment was found to have multiple issues including water-related problems (leaky faucets, sink issues), electrical concerns (non-functioning outlets, lighting problems), safety concerns (missing carbon monoxide detector), and sanitary issues (mold presence). These problems resulted in both emergency and non-emergency classification under the Housing Maintenance Code, leading to violations that required corrections. The inspections revealed specific issues including a need for proper ceiling and wall paint, repairs to various door frames (including entrance and closet doors), electrical repairs for faulty outlets, plumbing work for defective faucets, and remediation of both mold and water leak problems in the bathroom and hallway ceilings.

Notable safety concerns included the absence of a carbon monoxide detector. However, all violations were properly addressed and certified as corrected by May 7, 2019, suggesting that the owner took appropriate action to remedy the issues once they were identified. Since these documented incidents in 2019, there have been no further recorded complaints or violations on file, indicating no recent maintenance issues have been reported at this address.
