475 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The 12-story, 270-unit residential building at 475 Bay Street in Stapleton, owned by Ryan Webler and constructed in 2022, has experienced several notable issues since its opening. Most recently, from January to July 2025, there have been multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints regarding smoking or vaping in smoke-free areas and inadequate ventilation systems, with the most pressing health-related concern being a drinking water incident in October 2024 that was investigated with no violations found.

The building has also faced pest-related challenges, with emergency housing maintenance code complaints filed in June 2025. The Department of Buildings has recorded several compliance tracking inspections between February and October 2024, as well as issues related to excessive debris and problems with scaffolding/safety equipment.

While all these complaints were ultimately closed without violations being cited at the time of inspection, they indicate ongoing monitoring requirements. Notably, the building maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations in the 2023-2024 reporting period, with no units reported as infested, treated, or re-infested. The property, despite its relatively new construction status, has encountered recurring issues with compliance and resident comfort, particularly concerning air quality and smoking policies, though most recent complaints have been addressed through official channels.
