81 Bodine Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

81 Bodine Street, a 2-family house built in 1901 and owned by Ralph Sibbio, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over recent years, with particular concerns emerging in 2024. Most notably, there are multiple open violations as of June 2024 in the 2nd-floor apartment, including problems with heat and hot water, pest infestations (rodents and roaches), plumbing issues (including leaky faucets and waste line connections), and general maintenance concerns (broken cabinets and wall conditions).

The building's heating system has been a recurring problem, with complaints about heat and hot water in May 2024 resulting in violations. A Department of Buildings inspection in January 2024 found serious boiler-related issues, including non-operation, exposed wiring, and missing safety features, leading to an active violation with a $3,125 penalty. The property's maintenance history shows persistent pest control challenges, with multiple violations related to unsanitary conditions recorded in 2024 alone.

Between 2016 and 2020, regular rodent inspections generally resulted in failures for unspecified reasons, though one inspection in November 2020 passed. There is also a concerning pattern of open penalties related to failure to comply with various Department of Buildings orders, with several penalties ranging from $4,000 to $10,000 still showing active status. While some previous electrical and plumbing issues have been resolved (as noted in complaints from 2022-2023), the current state of the building as of 2024 suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges that affect both safety and habitability.
