83 Thompson Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 83 Thompson Street, currently owned by Diane Canterino, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, the building suffered damage from a fire on October 31, 2023, which affected the second floor front apartment (2L) and resulted in violations for structural non-compliance and compromised building safety that remain active as of this report. The property has a concerning history of pest problems, with multiple recent complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests filed in May 2025, along with prior rodent inspection failures documented between 2016 and 2019.

The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including violations for water leaks, mold conditions, and issues with doors/windows and flooring. A 2024 inspection of apartment 1L revealed multiple violations including mold, water leaks, and pest infestation. Additional recent complaints in 2025 indicate ongoing maintenance concerns, with violations issued for door and flooring issues, plumbing problems, and undetermined conditions in multiple areas of the building. The property has a documented history of rodent infestations, with multiple failed inspections and the need for bait application between 2016 and 2019.

Deteriorating building conditions are evident through various Housing Maintenance Code violations, including issues with flooring, doors, and plumbing. The building has also faced challenges with proper maintenance of common areas, as evidenced by violations recorded in 2023 for the public hall and building entrance. While there have been some inspections where conditions were found to be acceptable, the frequency and recency of complaints and violations suggest persistent maintenance challenges. The absence of bedbug reports from 2022 to 2023 is noted, though prior pest control history indicates ongoing challenges with vermin management.
