196 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10301
The 4-unit, 3-story building at 196 Bay Street in Stapleton, owned by Robert Adamo Jr., was constructed in 1931 and has undergone several significant events in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building experienced multiple emergency safety-related inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) concerning smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire escape conditions, and door/window issues. A heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building was also addressed during this period.
The building remains subject to an open violation as of April 2024 regarding the requirement to file an annual bedbug report for the 2B apartment. In 2023, several health-related complaints were registered, including multiple reports of mosquito activity and an issue with standing water in flower planters, though access could not be obtained for inspection in one instance. The property's historical maintenance record shows consistent monitoring for pest control, with bedbug reports filed in 2024 showing no current or re-infested units.
Rodent inspections conducted between 2012 and 2017 reveal a mixed history, with instances of rat activity noted in 2016 and some failed inspections, though subsequent inspections typically resulted in "Passed" statuses. The building's most recent DOB complaint from January 2025 regarding gas utility issues resulted in access denial for inspection follow-up. The property has maintained a relatively stable recent history regarding major violations, with most recent inspections showing prompt attention to emergency safety concerns, though notable for the number of simultaneous safety-related issues requiring inspection in October 2023.
