211 Bement Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-story, five-unit building at 211 Bement Avenue in Randall Manor, owned by Lincoln Berger, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, particularly regarding heating systems. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2024 and 2025, with three building-wide outages reported in December 2024 alone, and another heat-related incident in May 2025, which was classified as an emergency requiring HPD intervention.

These heating issues have resulted in at least one open violation as of May 2024, specifically affecting Apartment 1, where hot water problems were documented. The building also faces some ongoing structural and maintenance challenges, including an unresolved honeybee or wasp issue reported in October 2024, and a pest-related complaint from October 2024 that could not be inspected due to access issues.

The property has been subject to several Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring attention to bedbug reporting compliance between 2021 and 2024, with these violations remaining open as of the most recent data. An electrical wiring complaint was filed in January 2019, though this was closed without any violations being issued. While some complaints have been resolved through HPD intervention and inspections, the recurring nature of heating system failures and the presence of open violations related to both heating systems and bedbug reporting suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
