19 Pine Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 19 Pine Street in Tompkinsville, owned by Djellza Kastrati, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years, with the majority occurring between late 2023 and early 2024. The building has faced multiple water-related problems, including heavy flow water leaks, plumbing issues, and ceiling-related concerns, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first story.

Notable issues include a power outage in January 2024, several ceiling problems resulting in violations in September 2023, and multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including a sewage leak and mold in March 2023. The building has also documented pest infestations, with violations recorded in September 2023 regarding roaches in the first-floor apartment. Recent inspections and violations from November 2023 identified several ongoing maintenance concerns in Apartment 1, including mold issues in the bathroom ceiling, a missing carbon monoxide detector, a defective entrance door, and water leak problems.

The building's maintenance history includes some concerning safety issues, such as a carbon monoxide detector violation in November 2023, though this was subsequently certified as corrected in December 2023. While rodent inspections between 2014 and 2022 generally passed, there were three failed boiler access attempts in late 2021. The property has a history dating back to its 1915 construction, though the most pressing concerns appear to be concentrated in recent years, particularly around plumbing, water damage, and pest control.
