525 Clove Road, Staten Island, NY 10310

The 24-unit, 4-story building at 525 Clove Road in West Brighton, owned by Bernardo Pace and constructed in 1989, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with a significant concentration of plumbing-related complaints. Between 2023 and 2025, there were multiple plumbing service requests involving toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, with several inspections being unable to gain access for verification. Notably, there were violations issued in July 2024 regarding toilet problems, and in December 2023 concerning paint/plaster issues in the ceiling and ventilation system problems, with associated violations documented.

The building has also shown recurring issues in apartment 2G, including reported cockroach infestation, ventilation system problems, and various maintenance needs ranging from wood frame repairs to floor tile issues, with multiple open violations as of 2024. General building maintenance concerns include inspection findings from August 2024 noting problems with fire door hardware and a broken heavy-duty lockset at the building entrance, though some violations have since been closed. The property has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings showing zero infested or re-infested units since 2022.

While there were complaints about illegal conversions and a boiler issue in 2021, these were ultimately closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. A rodent sighting was reported in August 2024, but the property passed inspection with no violations found. The building's permit history includes a plumbing-related permit issued in December 2018, and the property has consistently passed rodent inspections in 2014, 2016, and most recently in 2024.
