115 Wright Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

115 Wright Street is a two-story, five-unit residential building in Stapleton, built in 1920 and currently owned by Steve Gersh. The building has experienced significant and recurring maintenance issues, most recently documented in August 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These issues include problems with heat and hot water throughout the building, multiple plumbing problems (bathtub/shower, basin/sink, toilet), electrical issues (outlet/switch), and various other maintenance concerns.

Numerous violations were issued during these inspections, affecting multiple units including 1F and 1LEFT. The building also has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2024, particularly affecting the self-closing doors at various locations, waste line issues in Apartment 1F, and a reported roach infestation in Apartment 1LEFT. Historical records show persistent maintenance challenges, including three illegal conversion complaints between 2020-2021, and multiple instances of pest-related issues documented through rodent inspections between 2010-2014, with some failing inspections during 2011, though most recent inspections passed.

The building's most recent bedbug report from May 2025 shows no current infestation or eradication efforts. While the building's age and history as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property suggest it has undergone some form of conversion from its original layout, specific details about the current configuration remain unclear. The volume and nature of recent violations, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges within the building, though many of these issues are classified as "non-emergency" rather than immediately life-threatening.
