1114 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

1114 Castleton Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family residential building located in West Brighton and owned by Victor Battaglia. Built in 1920, this property has experienced multiple concerning issues over the past several years, particularly during 2020-2021 when there were numerous emergency complaints related to heat and hot water problems, plumbing issues, and appliance concerns. During this period, multiple complaints regarding pests and sanitation were filed, including an open violation from December 2019 regarding garbage and household items in the public hall.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent problems with heating and plumbing systems, particularly affecting the second-story apartment (Apartment 1), where violations for inadequate heat, hot water, and leaky faucets were documented in February 2019. The property has also faced food safety and hygiene concerns, as evidenced by multiple Department of Health complaints between 2022 and 2024, including issues with food containing foreign objects and rodent sightings. Most recently, there have been food establishment complaints, including a 2024 case regarding an unlicensed establishment and a 2023 food poisoning incident.

While some of these health-related complaints have been classified as isolated incidents, they indicate ongoing concerns in the building's vicinity. The building's rodent inspection history shows mixed results, with failed inspections and the need for multiple bait applications in 2014, though a passed inspection was recorded in July 2017. While arbitrary claims cannot be made about the current state of the building as of July 2025, these historical records reveal a pattern of maintenance and sanitation challenges that have affected resident comfort and safety over the years.
