590 Delafield Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 590 Delafield Avenue, owned by Hua Guo, is a relatively new property built in 2018 in the West Brighton neighborhood. However, it has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a pest infestation in October 2023 that affected Apartment 1 on the first floor. The building underwent substantial challenges during 2021, with multiple simultaneous emergency complaints including plumbing issues (toilet and sink problems), heat and hot water problems, mold, pest infestations, and an electrical power outage, all of which were addressed between late July and early August 2021.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 specifically cited problems in Apartment 1, including multiple cases of pest infestation (mice), electrical issues, water supply problems, and various necessary repairs to plumbing fixtures, kitchen cabinets, and wall surfaces. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny, with several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations. Notably, in early 2021, there was an investigation into an allegedly unauthorized full basement apartment, resulting in multiple violations with penalties totaling $5,250.

The building's owner was found to have installed various utilities (water, waste lines, gas lines) without proper permits, though these issues were subsequently resolved. Additional zoning-related violations were recorded in 2022 regarding non-conforming use, and a parking violation was documented involving unregistered vehicles on the property. The most recent housing maintenance inspection in October 2023 resulted in violations related to a mouse infestation, demonstrating ongoing pest management challenges at the property.
