869 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-story, nine-unit building at 869 Forest Avenue in West Brighton, owned by Carol Tullo and constructed in 1975, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in early 2023, there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that HPD could not investigate due to access issues. Previous concerns include plumbing problems with the bathtub/shower in September 2019 (an emergency complaint), and issues with a window frame in January 2019 (a non-emergency complaint), though no violations were issued for the latter.

The building has recorded three consecutive years (2021-2023) of bedbug reporting violations, all indicating non-compliance with the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though the official reports from 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 show no infestations or eradicated units. Notably, in April 2019, violations were issued for missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2A, though these were subsequently certified as corrected in April 2019. The building's maintenance history shows both resolved violations and ongoing compliance issues.

Two rodent inspections from 2010 show mixed results, with one passing and one failing for unspecified reasons. While the bedbug reporting violations from 2021-2023 suggest some historical pest management challenges, the official reports indicate no active infestations during those periods. The most recent building inspection data available through October 2023 suggests that while some maintenance issues have been addressed, others persist, particularly regarding pest-related access complaints and the historical pattern of needing to file annual bedbug reports, as evidenced by the April 2024 violation notice.
