98 Taylor Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

This two-story, six-unit residential building at 98 Taylor Street in the Randall Manor neighborhood, owned by Samir Lazoja, has a mixed maintenance history since its 1931 construction. Most recently, in December 2024, the building experienced multiple plumbing and maintenance issues, including problems with a bathtub/shower, toilet, and ceiling, though HPD inspections were not completed during this period. In October 2023, a heat and hot water complaint also resulted in an incomplete inspection.

The building underwent a significant violation in 2022 related to improper drainage, resulting in a $250 penalty for connecting a pump to drain water to the front yard and sidewalk, though this violation was later resolved. A concrete repair violation was issued in October 2023 regarding broken steps at the building's front, which was certified as corrected by November 2023. The property's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, primarily relating to water and plumbing systems, including multiple recent complaints about bathroom facilities in late 2024.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean pest control record, with no bedbug or rodent issues reported since 2019, and all bedbug inspections between 2022-2025 showed zero infested units. The Department of Buildings records indicate some technical violations, including a failure to file an annual boiler inspection in 2017, though this was ultimately dismissed in May 2024. The building appears to be currently facing ongoing maintenance challenges based on the most recent complaints, though there have been no reported issues related to pests or rodents in recent years.
