283 Jersey Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The 16-unit, 2-story residential building at 283 Jersey Street in St. George, owned by Jehovana Mcknight and constructed in 1984, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest control issues, with the most pressing concerns centered around violations and emerging patterns of moisture and pest problems.

As of July 2025, the building has multiple open violations related to mold and pest infestations, particularly affecting apartment 285B (notably with issues of both mold and roaches) and apartment 295B (with concerns about door functionality and carbon monoxide detectors). Recently, in May 2025, several complaints regarding paint/plaster issues, unsanitary conditions, and flooring problems resulted in HPD violations, though some earlier unsanitary condition complaints from 2024 were found not to violate housing laws. The building has a documented history of pest challenges, with regular rodent inspections revealing persistent rat activity between 2019 and 2025, though recent bait applications have been initiated.

While the building's bedbug reporting shows no infestations in the most recent two years (2024-2025), there was a notable outbreak in 2019 involving 8 units, with 7 requiring eradication. Compliance history shows a pattern of responsiveness to violations, with some being closed after correction periods, while others remain open as of the latest available data. The property has also undergone various routine inspections and maintenance checks, including electrical, flooring, and general condition assessments, with varying results regarding code compliance and necessary repairs.
