700 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The 16-unit, 6-story residential building at 700 Bay Street in Clifton, owned by Michael Spicer, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code. Most recently, in January 2025, there were three separate heat/hot water complaints, including one building-wide report, though inspections were either unable to gain access or found that heat and hot water had been restored during the investigation. A notable cluster of heating-related complaints occurred in early 2024, with several complaints being classified as emergencies.

In addition to the heating issues, the building has several open violations related to maintenance and safety, including an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the bedbug reporting requirement, and multiple Class C violations from February 2024 concerning defective self-closing doors at both apartment 2D and various fire doors on the second story. The property has a documented history of maintenance concerns extending back to 2022, including general cooking gas and appliance issues. Building systems and maintenance records show numerous permits issued between 2020 and 2022 for various types of work, though specific details of the work performed are not provided in the data.

The building underwent a rodent inspection in February 2023, which passed, and the bedbug reporting history from 2019-2021 shows no reported infestations during the required filing periods. While some violations from 2024 have been closed, including those related to door issues in apartment 2D, several critical safety and maintenance violations remain open as of the most recent inspection dates. The building's elevator service was notably addressed in a 2018 complaint, though this issue appears to have been resolved.
