72 Layton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 72 Layton Avenue in St. George, Staten Island, has a concerning track record of maintenance issues spanning several years, with the most recent active violations relating to external low pressure inspections from 2018 to 2023 being documented in June 2023 and continuing into 2024.

The property, which was built in 2002 and is owned by Nader Attia, has experienced recurring rodent-related problems, with a rat sighting reported in July 2023 prompting the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to identify violations requiring follow-up inspections, and previous rodent complaints in 2022 and 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the property. The building's history also reveals persistent issues with heat and hot water systems, with complaints filed in October 2019 and January 2020 (both classified as emergencies) where inspectors could not access the apartments for verification.

Multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions have been recorded, including mold issues in 2019 and January 2022, though some of these investigations did not result in identified violations. A series of housing maintenance complaints from August 2019 covered various concerns including plumbing, paint/plaster issues, and door/window conditions, suggesting a pattern of maintenance challenges. Of particular note is the failure to file required annual inspections, with violations dating back to 2017 relating to boiler inspections, and a clear pattern of external low pressure inspection non-compliance from 2018 through 2023, with the most recent violation issued in September 2024 still showing as active.
