74 Caswell Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 74 Caswell Avenue in Westerleigh, owned by Salvatore Marino, has experienced notable heat and hot water issues in July 2021, when multiple emergency complaints were filed by tenants regarding inadequate heating and hot water conditions. Three separate complaints were registered between July 3-8, 2021, though one of these was initially recorded as a duplicate of another tenant's complaint.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access some units for inspection during this period, they did verify inadequate heat or hot water conditions through inspections of other apartments, resulting in the issuance of violations. Specifically, a Class C violation was documented on July 6, 2021, relating to insufficient hot water at all fixtures in Apartment 1 on the first floor, though this violation was certified as addressed by July 16, 2021.

The two-story building, constructed in 1975, appears to have maintained general operational stability since these heating issues were resolved, with no further heat or hot water complaints on record in the subsequent two years. Prior to these heating incidents, the building underwent a routine rodent inspection on May 3, 2019, which resulted in a passing grade, suggesting that no significant pest control issues have been documented in recent years. The property, currently maintaining its original two-family configuration, has had no recorded violations or major service complaints since the 2021 heating problems were resolved.
