1804 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10310

The three-story, two-family house at 1804 Richmond Terrace in Randall Manor, owned by Ramzey Ahmad, was built in 1920 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2019 and 2021, though some of these complaints were duplicate reports or resulted in corrections being verified by HPD.

More concerning are the plumbing and sanitary issues reported in June 2021, including toilet problems and sewage issues, with HPD unable to gain access for inspection, though violations were issued for toilet problems during an earlier May inspection. The building continues to have several open housing violations from May 2021, including issues with water closet obstructions, household rubbish in public areas, and various apartment-specific problems such as broken window sashes, a defective entrance door lock, and missing carbon monoxide detectors. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, particularly in 2018, with multiple bait applications and reports of rat activity, though an inspection in December 2019 passed.

Earlier maintenance concerns were noted in 2019, with an inspection revealing roof leaks affecting the third-floor ceiling in apartment 3. In a separate matter, there is an active Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 regarding the failure to file a final inspection for completed work related to a permit that expired in 2015, with a substantial penalty of $6,250 associated with this violation. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and safety compliance, though many past issues have been addressed or closed through proper channels.
