260 Davis Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 260 Davis Avenue in Randall Manor, owned by Hersh Guttman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year that warrant attention. Most recently, in May 2025, there were complaints regarding both plumbing problems with a bathtub/shower and a broken or missing window guard, both categorized as emergencies.

Notably, the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) attempted inspections of these issues but were unable to complete them, suggesting potential access difficulties or other complications. Earlier in 2025, there was a documented heavy water leak issue in April that was inspected by HPD, though no violations were found in that case.

Looking further back, there is a record from July 2020 involving a building permit complaint (number 5149404) where access was denied during the inspection, requiring a second attempt, though this case was eventually closed in August 2020 with no violations noted. Given the pattern of recent plumbing and safety-related complaints, particularly those with inspection access issues, there appears to be an emerging trend of maintenance challenges at this property that could impact resident comfort and safety. However, it's important to note that not all reported issues have resulted in violations, as evidenced by the April 2025 water leak inspection.
