317 Jewett Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-story, 42-unit apartment building at 317 Jewett Avenue in Randall Manor, constructed in 1971 and currently owned by Matthew Nichol, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been persistent pest control challenges, with the most recent unsanitary conditions related to pests reported in April 2025, though this was not the first instance as similar complaints were filed in 2019 and 2022. The building has also faced multiple indoor air quality concerns between 2024 and 2025, involving chemical vapors and gases.

Regulatory compliance inspections have shown a mixed history, with the building passing rodent inspections in 2025, though there were several failures between 2009-2016. Significant maintenance work was completed in 2019 for apartment B1, addressing multiple issues including a mice infestation, bathroom ceiling painting, floor repairs, and various fixture replacements. The building's violation history reveals a combination of Class A and Class C violations, including an August 2019 failure to file an energy benchmarking report, though this was subsequently dismissed.

Between November 2022 and November 2025, there have been multiple complaints and violations related to smoking violations, although these were administratively closed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations from 2019 to present, with all annual reports showing zero affected units. Other documented issues include electrical, plumbing, and appliance concerns from 2022, as well as several indoor air quality violations. The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with habitability factors, particularly regarding pest control and air quality, despite periodic interventions to address these issues.
