1157 Forest Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-story, nine-unit building at 1157 Forest Avenue in Randall Manor, owned by Paul Scolaro, has been standing since 1976 and has had several notable incidents over the past five years. Most concerning was a reported mold issue in April 2022 that prompted both HPD and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, though the inspection was not completed due to access issues and the case was ultimately closed.

The building has been subject to four consecutive Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024, all related to the requirement of filing annual bedbug reports in accordance with HPD rules, though these violations were properly documented and closed. It's worth noting that despite these violations, the building's bedbug reporting history is exemplary, with all five annual reports (from 2020-2025) showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the specified periods.

The most recent bedbug report filed in May 2025 confirmed the continued absence of any infestations between November 2023 and October 2024. While the building experienced a temporary sanitary issue with mold in 2022 and administrative violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in previous years, the consistent documentation of pest control compliance through annual reports indicates that the property management has been diligent in addressing these concerns once identified.
