253 Davis Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

253 Davis Avenue, a two-family home built in 1920 and currently owned by Louise Lai, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably during 2020 when multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems were filed. In March 2020, complaints were submitted for both the entire building and individual apartments, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access for verification.

These heat-related issues were classified as emergencies, along with a separate emergency complaint regarding an electric/gas range in July 2020, though all these cases were subsequently closed. Prior to these heating concerns, there were three consecutive complaints in 2019 regarding potential illegal conversions at the property, all associated with the same address of 10310 (though this appears to be an address error, as the building's correct address is 253 Davis Avenue).

Each of these complaints was closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access for verification, either due to access denial or no-show on the part of the residents. On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status, with the most recent reporting period from November 2019 to October 2020 showing no infestations, eradications, or re-infestations in any dwelling units.
