102 Bard Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The 34-unit, 2-story residential building at 102 Bard Avenue in Randall Manor, owned by Robert Fitzsimmons and constructed in 1961, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues throughout 2023-2025, with eight documented complaints between November 2023 and February 2025. Most of these complaints were resolved quickly, with tenants reporting restoration of services during HPD inspections, though one complaint in January 2025 was marked as closed without building access verification. The building has also been subject to two heat maintenance code violations related to insufficient heat/hot water in 2023-2024.

Recent inspections have revealed several maintenance issues, including two open Class A violations from July 2023 requiring painting of interior surfaces in Apartment 1 and an open bedbug reporting violation from April 2024 that remains unresolved. The building's bedbug history shows sporadic infestations, with confirmed cases in late 2019, 2021, and 2022, though recent filings for 2023-2025 indicate no current infestations. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent filings, with the most recent (July 2025) showing no active infestations.

The building has also had two energy benchmarking violations in 2019, though these were subsequently dismissed. A smoking complaint was filed in early 2025, though the resolution details are limited. The frequency of heat/hot water complaints suggests this remains a significant building management challenge, despite most being resolved promptly. In addition to the heating issues, the building has undergone various maintenance checks and repairs, including plumbing work in July 2023, and multiple apartment-specific violations requiring attention to paint conditions in common areas and individual units.
