108 Taft Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 108 Taft Avenue in St. George, built in 1925 and currently owned by Oleg Gorokhovsky, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade.

Most notably, in 2018, the building faced serious heat and hot water problems that required emergency intervention and resulted in a Class C violation regarding inadequate heat supply in apartment 1 on the first story. During the same period, between October 2017 and June 2019, there were multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to failure to comply with Commissioner orders and file necessary Certificates of Correction, particularly concerning occupancy issues, though these were eventually resolved with varying penalties totaling $3125.

The building has a concerning history of rodent control challenges, with failed inspections recorded in 2010, 2012, and 2014, despite several bait applications in 2011. More recently, the property has shown some positive maintenance activity, with three plumbing permits issued in 2020, suggesting attempted improvements to the building's infrastructure. While the most serious violations appear to have been addressed, the property's historical maintenance record indicates a pattern of regulatory non-compliance and infrastructure challenges, particularly during 2018 when multiple violations were documented.
