521 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

521 Bay Street is a three-story, four-unit residential building located in Staten Island's Stapleton neighborhood, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Alexander Levin. The property has experienced recurring issues with bedbug report compliance between 2021 and 2024, as evidenced by four consecutive violations of Housing Maintenance Code § HMC requiring annual bedbug report filings, though these violations are now closed.

Notably, the building's official bedbug filing period from November 2020 to October 2021 reported no infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. The building underwent significant rodent control efforts in early 2012, with multiple bait applications recorded throughout January and February of that year, including instances of compliance inspections that failed for various reasons.

The property has maintained some recent construction activity, with two permits issued in late 2021 - one on December 3 and another on October 19, both categorized as "EW" (presumably Electrical Work). While the bedbug report violations could indicate administrative oversight, it's worth noting that the building's recent historical records show no documented bedbug infestations or rodent issues since 2012, suggesting effective pest management in recent years. The building's age and classification as an "OLD LAW TENEMENT" reflect its historical significance in the neighborhood, though this also indicates it is subject to specific preservation and maintenance requirements under New York City housing regulations.
