140 Crescent Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family residence at 140 Crescent Avenue in St. George, built in 1910 and currently owned by 140 Crescent Ave Realty LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with particular emphasis on the second apartment (Apt 2). Most notably, in October 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions, including multiple pest-related issues that resulted in HPD violations requiring correction.

These recent inspections also noted mold conditions that could not be fully assessed due to access issues, and heating/hot water concerns that were investigated but found not to violate housing laws. Earlier issues from January 2024 had similar themes, including heating problems and pest complaints, though these were generally closed without violations. The apartment's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with pests, including documented infestations of mice and roaches in 2024, along with vermin-related issues in October 2024.

The building has also faced violations related to physical infrastructure, such as broken plastered surfaces and windows needing repair in Apt 2, as documented in October 2024. Previous records show a pattern of rodent inspections and treatments dating back to 2013, with instances of rat activity noted in both 2013 and 2019. Earlier violations from 2020 regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply in the top floor apartment were eventually certified as corrected. The building's maintenance record indicates ongoing challenges with basic services and pest control, requiring multiple interventions from housing authorities over the past decade.
