495 Jewett Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 495 Jewett Avenue in Castleton Corners, owned by Laura Colonna, was constructed in 1988 and has been primarily maintained as a two-unit residential building. The property experienced significant maintenance issues during the fall of 2018, with multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations primarily stemming from problems with the first-floor apartment's heating, hot water, and gas systems.

Between October 15 and November 10, 2018, there were several emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, with violations subsequently documented on November 14 specifically citing inadequate heat and hot water supply (Class C violations) in the first-floor apartment, as well as an inadequate gas supply to the kitchen fixtures (Class B violation). The building's systems showed a concerning pattern of problems during this period, with multiple duplicate complaints about heating, hot water, and cooking gas issues being reported and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

In addition to the maintenance issues, there was also a complaint filed with the Department of Buildings on October 16, 2018, regarding an allegedly illegal conversion, though this investigation was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on November 27. While most of the 2018 violations were addressed and closed by early 2019, with some violations certified as corrected by late November 2018, it's noteworthy that the building's documented issues occurred over a concentrated period and involved multiple systems affecting resident comfort and safety. Since the records available only extend through late 2023, more recent maintenance history would require separate verification.
