120 Seneca Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

120 Seneca Street is a two-family residential building located in West Brighton, constructed in 2004 and currently owned by Yeung Tam. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant concerns centering around pest control and heating. Most notably, there have been multiple rodent-related complaints between 2021 and 2022, with eight separate reports to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and failed inspections during this period.

Additionally, the building experienced serious heating and hot water issues in mid-2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed through the Housing Preservation Department (HPD) affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, resulting in several violations that were subsequently closed. Earlier maintenance history shows ongoing plumbing and water-related problems, including bathtub/shower issues and heavy water leaks reported in 2020, as well as various defects requiring repair in both apartments. The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections from 2013 through 2022, with the most recent compliance inspection in early 2022 showing continued concerns.

A 2022 inspection identified both roach infestation and plaster/ceiling repair needs in the second-floor apartment. While there have been two Department of Buildings complaints from 2019 regarding water drainage and zoning issues, both were resolved with no violations found. The property has an active history of requiring maintenance across various systems, including plumbing, heating, and pest control, though many issues appear to have been addressed through standard closure processes.
