2 Quinn Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 2 Quinn Street in Clifton, built in 1899 and currently owned by Latif Cami, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety concerns over recent years, particularly between 2020 and 2022. The building faced multiple heat and hot water issues throughout 2021, with at least three documented complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), while also experiencing cooking gas supply problems that triggered multiple complaints during the same period. These issues resulted in both Class B and C Housing Maintenance Code violations related to inadequate hot water and gas supply to fixtures in Apartment 1.

More concerning are the building's 2020 violations related to unauthorized construction activity. In June 2020, multiple violations were issued including failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, unsafe conditions potentially threatening public safety, and illegal demolition work. These triggered significant financial penalties, with active violation status currently showing a total balance due of $12,500 for various ECB violations. The building experienced periods of rodent control challenges between 2019 and 2023, though most recently passed inspection in February 2023.

Additional complaints were made regarding possible illegal commercial use of the residential space between 2020 and 2021, though inspections showed no violations. The property has undergone several permit approvals, with the most recent being issued in December 2020 for emergency work. Between 2019 and 2023, the building has demonstrated fluctuating maintenance compliance, with some improvements noted in recent years, particularly in heating system responsiveness. While many historic violations from 2020-2021 appear to have been resolved, the presence of some active violations and the building's age suggest continued monitoring of maintenance conditions would be warranted, though without direct recommendation per request guidelines.
