Layton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-unit residential building at Layton Avenue in St. George, owned by Alan Siu, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several notable issues over its relatively short history.

Most concerning are the recent patterns of unsanitary conditions related to garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed between October 2024 and March 2025. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, they consistently found no violations of housing laws, though this recurring issue suggests ongoing challenges with waste management in the building. Additionally, there were multiple rodent-related complaints in early 2025, with inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene showing no violations, though these incidents indicate potential sanitation concerns.

The building's early history includes a plumbing violation in December 2020 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served, as well as two other complaints regarding sustainability and construction work in 2020, with one requiring a stop work order that was eventually rescinded. Notably, the building has not reported any bedbug infestations since its construction, with the most recent bedbug report for the period from November 2022 to October 2023 showing zero affected units. The property's three stories and Class A designation suggest it was designed as a fully residential building, though the documented issues indicate some ongoing challenges with maintenance and sanitation systems.
