19 Alaska Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 19 Alaska Street, owned by Robert Fitzsimmons, is a 126-year-old structure located in the Randall Manor neighborhood. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns regarding heat and hot water systems. Most notably, in late 2020 and early 2021, there were two separate heat/hot water complaints regarding the third-floor apartment (3F), both resulting in violations — including one for inadequate heat supply and another for hot water exceeding the maximum temperature of 130°F at all fixtures.

The building has also faced periodic unsanitary conditions, with the most recent complaint in July 2022 regarding garbage/recycling storage, though no violations were issued. Health and safety matters were addressed in 2019 when violations were issued for failing to post required notices regarding housing information and gas leak procedures in common areas. The building's systems have shown some instability, with an open violation from January 2021 related to providing ready access to the building's heating system through locked doors at the basement and first-story levels.

However, more recent records show improvements in certain areas. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations for the past five filing periods from 2021 through 2025, with zero infested units reported in each annual report. Rodent inspections show a mixed history, with failed inspections in 2012 and 2015, though these were followed by compliance passes in subsequent inspections, indicating efforts to address pest control issues. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, the most recent data suggests better compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and maintenance of basic sanitation standards, though historical patterns of heat and hot water issues remain notable.
