163 Brighton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 163 Brighton Avenue in Tompkinsville, owned by Liliana Torija and built in 2002, has experienced several notable events over the past five years that warrant attention. Most significantly, there have been three separate heating and hot water-related incidents, with two occurring in July 2018 (one affecting the entire building and another in a specific apartment) and another in February 2019 that impacted the entire building.

The February 2019 incident was particularly concerning as HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported lack of heat or hot water conditions. The building has also faced safety-related issues in July 2018, specifically concerning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though inspections of these incidents did not result in any violations being issued.

While all these incidents were ultimately closed, the pattern of heating system complaints over multiple years, including both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, suggests a recurring concern. The most recent documented incident was the February 2019 heating system complaint, and there have been no reported violations or emergency complaints regarding other systems or conditions since then, though this does not necessarily indicate that no issues have occurred since that time.
