44 Brighton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

44 Brighton Avenue, a three-story residential building in Tompkinsville constructed in 1935, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years under the ownership of Brighton Ave Suites LLC. Most notably, there is an active sewage odor problem reported in May 2025 that resulted in a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advisory.

The building has faced multiple instances of maintenance challenges and inspection difficulties, particularly during a cluster of complaints in October 2024 involving heating, electrical, and appliance issues, though violations were not ultimately issued. The third-floor apartment (3RDFL) has documented persistent problems including a roof leak, pest infestation, and plumbing issues identified in late 2023 and early 2024, with some violations remaining open as of 2024. The property has a history of compliance issues with required reporting and maintenance standards, including an open violation from April 2024 regarding the filing of annual bedbug reports.

While the building has maintained documentation of having no infested units in recent years, there was significant rodent activity noted between 2017-2018, with multiple failed inspections requiring bait application. The Department of Buildings has previously responded to various complaints about the property's condition, including violations related to construction activities and yard maintenance in 2019, though these were ultimately resolved. The building has undergone some permit activity between 2019-2020, suggesting attempts to address maintenance issues, but recent service requests indicate ongoing concerns.
