418 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 418 Castleton Avenue in Tompkinsville, owned by Alnando Nieves, is a two-story building constructed in 1931. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in November 2020, with multiple complaints filed regarding various problems.

These included heat and hot water issues (classified as emergencies), multiple paint and plaster problems (both wall and ceiling), electrical wiring concerns, water leaks with heavy flow, and door/window-related issues. Several of these problems led to Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2FL), including issues with plastered surfaces, ceiling leaks, roof problems, and door refitting requirements. While many of these violations were certified as addressed by May 2022, as of October 2023, there are still open violations on record, including problems with ceiling surfaces and roof leaks.

The building's history also shows rodent compliance failures in May 2010, with inspections indicating issues requiring attention. Though most of the 2020 complaints were closed after inspection, with some resulting in violations while others did not, the persistence of certain open violations into 2025 suggests some maintenance challenges have remained unresolved over time. The extensive list of complaints and violations from late 2020 indicates that the building experienced a period of significant maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, though subsequent inspections and certifications suggest many of these problems have been addressed.
