353 St Pauls Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

The three-story, two-unit property at 353 St Pauls Avenue in Stapleton, built in 1883 and currently owned by Wayne Laviscount, has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly during 2019. The most significant recent issue is a construction lead dust complaint from March 2022 that remains unresolved.

The building experienced multiple heat and hot water problems in spring 2019, with eight separate complaints filed between February and May of that year, several of which resulted in inspections confirming inadequate service and at least one violation being issued. During the same period, there were two rodent-related complaints in 2019 and various other maintenance concerns including unsanitary conditions involving mold, a cooking gas issue, and violations related to immediately hazardous conditions. The property underwent several inspections in 2018, including complaints about building stability that were subsequently investigated in 2024 with a vacate order being fully rescinded.

Multiple violations were recorded in 2018-2019, including a 2018 violation requiring the demolition of a partially collapsed roof over the rear porch, though this was ultimately dismissed. Notably, there were four violations for failure to certify correction of immediately hazardous conditions between 2018 and 2019, all dismissed in 2022. While many of these historical issues appear to have been resolved or dismissed, the unresolved lead dust complaint from 2022 represents the most recent maintenance concern on record as of 2025.
