1136 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The three-story, two-family house at 1136 Castleton Avenue in West Brighton, owned by Fernando Santiago, has experienced several notable issues between 2018 and 2024. Most concerning were two separate heat and hot water complaints in late 2019, with one incident in December requiring emergency intervention by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and violations documented in November affecting the second-story apartment. The building has also grappled with water issues, including a leaky bathroom faucet problem documented in July 2018 in the first-floor apartment, for which no resolution date is recorded.

The property faced food safety concerns in early 2019, with complaints about spoiled and contaminated food in a food establishment, though these were eventually addressed and closed. Recent inspections show some improvement in certain areas, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years between 2019-2023, and the latest rodent inspection in July 2024 resulting in a "Passed" rating. However, a pattern of rat activity was documented in 2022, suggesting earlier pest control challenges.

The building's construction-related complaints have been minimal, with only one filed in April 2019 that resulted in no violations being warranted upon inspection. The most recent building permit was issued in October 2018, indicating some level of maintenance and oversight. Given the historical data, while the property has had its share of maintenance issues, particularly in 2018-2019, more recent records from 2021-2024 show fewer complaints and violations, particularly regarding bedbugs and rodent issues.
