93 Taft Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 93 Taft Avenue in St. George, built in 1905 and currently owned by Nunzio Fontana, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns including a pest infestation reported in March 2025 (currently uninspected), and a slow water leak reported in July 2023 (inspected but not completed).

The building faced significant problems during the 2020-2021 period, with multiple heat and hot water complaints (including emergency situations) and issues with the electric/gas range appliance, resulting in at least one violation for inadequate gas supply to fixtures in Apartment 1. The 2019 inspection of Apartment 1 revealed various issues including a broken window pane, defective plastered surfaces, and the absence of carbon monoxide detectors, though these violations were subsequently closed.

Historical data shows a mix of rodent inspection outcomes between 2009 and 2014, with initial failures noted in late 2009 and late 2011, while the most recent inspections passed, suggesting improvement in pest control. The building's recent history (2022-2025) shows no reported bedbug infestations during the 2020-2021 reporting period, and there was an attempt to address sanitary conditions through a Department of Buildings permit issued in October 2018. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, electrical appliances, and water-related problems, with some instances where HPD was unable to complete inspections due to access issues.
