70 Cassidy Place, Staten Island, NY 10301

70 Cassidy Place, a 3-unit residential building constructed in 1940 in New Brighton and owned by Sylvia Tobing, has experienced several maintenance issues between 2023 and early 2024, with significant concerns primarily related to electrical systems. Most notably, there were multiple electrical wiring complaints throughout 2023, including an immediate electricity-related emergency in September 2023 and a power outage in September 2023, all of which were closed without violations being found or required re-inspections.

The building also experienced a series of maintenance complaints in mid-2023, including issues with smoke detectors, doors, walls, and plumbing (specifically a radiator problem), though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to perform inspections for these complaints, which were ultimately closed with instructions to file new complaints if issues persisted. Additional documented concerns include a window pane violation in April 2023 that resulted in citations, and an outside building pavement issue reported in May 2023.

The building's documented issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the electrical system, though the majority of complaints were closed without resulting violations. While the complaints span various categories including safety, electrical, plumbing, and structural issues, it's important to note that not all reported problems led to documented violations, and many complaints were closed due to lack of access for inspection rather than definitive resolutions. The building's recent complaint history highlights electrical system reliability as a recurring concern, with three separate wiring-related complaints in May 2023 alone, though subsequent electrical issues were generally addressed without recurring problems being documented.
