12 Court Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

12 Court Street is a 2-family, 2-story residence built in 1947 and currently owned by Barbara Fici, located in Staten Island's Stapleton neighborhood. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in November 2024 involving a window frame, damp spot, and issues with both walls and ceiling paint/plaster in the 1st apartment. These incidents were inspected by HPD, with violations issued for the wall condition.

Earlier in 2024, there were concerns about the fire escape and flooring, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation. A series of emergency complaints in March 2023 related to water leaks, door problems, and pest issues were also reported, with similar access limitations during inspections. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues, particularly affecting the 1st apartment, with multiple open violations as of June 2024.

These include problems with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and flooring defects. Earlier violations from 2019 regarding corroded metal handrailings at the front entrance stairs remain open. While the building passed rodent inspections in 2014 and 2018, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent violations from November 2024 specifically pertain to damaged fire retardant plaster at the ceiling, broken wood floor, and defective plastered surfaces requiring repair in various locations within the 1st apartment.
