644 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 644 Bay Street in Stapleton, built in 1931 and currently owned by John Pirozzi, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been two recent incidents in July 2024 involving both an electric power outage and mold problems, neither of which resulted in violations following HPD inspection.

The building has a documented history of water and electrical issues, with power outages reported in October 2021 and July 2024, and water leaks recorded in November 2021. There were also multiple complaints regarding ceiling conditions in 2021, including an emergency complaint about paint/plaster issues that resulted in open violations for Apartment 2B, though these violations were subsequently addressed and certified as closed in January 2022. The property currently has multiple active violations related to the failure to file required external low pressure inspections for the years 2020-2023, as indicated by violation notices issued between April 2023 and September 2024.

While these violations are administrative in nature, they represent a pattern of oversight that has persisted for several inspection cycles. Looking further back, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2014, with an initial failure noted for "Other Reasons" in September and a passing compliance inspection in November of that year, though this is now quite outdated. More recent history shows relatively few complaints since 2022, with the majority of recent issues being resolved through regular inspection processes, though the lack of access during certain inspections (noted in late 2021) is worth noting.
