614 Davis Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 614 Davis Avenue in West Brighton, built in 1933 and currently owned by Helen Fikias, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water over the past three years. Most recently, in March 2023, there was a building-wide heat and hot water outage, though tenants reported restoration shortly thereafter. Prior to this, January 2023 saw a similar heat-related complaint in an apartment unit, for which violations were issued, and October 2022 also had a heat and hot water complaint from an apartment unit.

These heating system issues date back to November 2020, when complaints about lack of heat and hot water were filed, along with separate complaints regarding problems with wall and ceiling paint/plaster, though inspectors were unable to gain access to examine these conditions. The building underwent one documented Housing Maintenance Code violation in January 2023 specifically related to inadequate heat supply in apartment 1F. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all three required annual reporting periods (2022-2023, 2023-2024, and the most recent from 2024-2025) showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or cases of re-infestation.

This suggests effective pest management practices are in place. While the heating system issues represent a recurring maintenance challenge, the absence of other significant complaints or violations in recent years, combined with the successful resolution of most reported issues, indicates that while there are persistent heating system problems, the building is otherwise being regularly maintained and monitored for safety and habitability. Please note that this report is based on available data up to October 2023 and does not capture any events or changes that may have occurred since that date.
