349 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 349 Victory Boulevard in Tompkinsville, owned by Joyce Adiekponya and constructed in 1910, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, between May and October 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heating and hot water problems, electrical issues (including outlets and switches), and various appliance malfunctions (including refrigerator and electric/gas range problems). Several of these complaints went unresolved initially due to lack of access for inspections, though some were eventually addressed.

A rodent inspection in May 2022 resulted in a failure for "Other Reasons," though specific details weren't provided, and there were documented pest issues in December 2022 when tenant complaints reported a cockroach infestation in Apartment 1. The building's documented history shows a pattern of electrical and appliance-related problems, with four distinct complaints about electrical outlets and three about appliances between May and October 2023. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in response to these complaints, though some inspections were unable to proceed due to access issues.

In terms of structural elements, there were complaints in May 2023 regarding door frames and general cooking gas systems, all of which were investigated but no violations were found. A recent Department of Buildings investigation in July 2024 regarding unauthorized hotel rooms in the building found no violations at the time of inspection. The building also had violations recorded in December 2022, including electrical outlet issues and pest infestations, which were certified as corrected in January 2023.
