54 Britton Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 54 Britton Street, West Brighton, built in 1910 and currently owned by Eric Schwimmer, has experienced several significant events over the past decade. Most notably, in 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions and certificate of occupancy issues, leading to investigations where access was denied on initial attempts.

By December 2019, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding improper garage roof installation, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The property has had consistent maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings inspections in 2019-2020, including two inspections in 2019 where no violations were found, and a compliance inspection in December 2020.

In terms of pest control, the building experienced a serious rat infestation in mid-2010, with several bait applications and failed inspections throughout 2010-2011 indicating ongoing rodent problems. More recently, permits were successfully obtained in 2019 and 2020, including an alteration permit in July 2020, suggesting some efforts toward building improvements or repairs. While the frequency of complaints and violations has decreased in recent years, the historical record shows a pattern of building code violations and pest control issues that required multiple inspections and corrective actions.
