1652 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10310

The property at 1652 Richmond Terrace in Randall Manor is a 3-story, 2-family house built in 2001, currently owned by Wilmoth Caine. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly in 2019 when multiple violations were documented in 2nd story apartment 2, including problems with water leaks, rodent infestation, plumbing issues, and various structural and fixture problems.

These violations, classified as either Class A or B, related to issues with the kitchen (cabinets, countertops, faucets, plastered surfaces), bathroom (toilet flushing apparatus), and the presence of mice infestation throughout the apartment. The building also had three separate water leak complaints in August 2019, along with sanitation issues. More recent concerns include electrical problems in 2020, with complaints about lighting and outlets that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were issued.

As of October 2023, the current date of this report, there are still open violations from 2019 related to carbon monoxide detector requirements and various repair needs in apartment 2, including a water leak in the kitchen, which suggest unresolved safety and maintenance issues. The building has a documented history of rodent problems, with failed inspections recorded in 2018, 2016, and 2013, though there was one passed inspection in March 2013. While the building was only constructed in 2001, the pattern of complaints and violations, particularly in 2019, indicates significant maintenance challenges that appear to have persisted into 2023.
