171 Broad Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

171 Broad Street is a 3-story, 2-family house located in Stapleton, built in 1850 and currently owned by Ashok Jain. The building has a significant history of maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, when multiple violations were documented including problems with heat and hot water in both apartments, pest infestations (including roaches and mice), window repairs, and electrical issues. Notable ongoing concerns include sewage problems, with violations issued by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in July 2022 and September 2023, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to hot water systems, pest control, and window conditions.

The property has experienced structural concerns, with a building shaking/vibrating complaint recorded in January 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. There are several active violations related to the building's Certificate of Occupancy, indicating improper use of first-floor commercial space. These violations, issued between 2018-2023, involve unauthorized uses of the building's first floor and maintenance issues with exterior walls.

Additionally, there are multiple outstanding violations regarding the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2024. The building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with both apartment units, particularly in 2022 when multiple emergency complaints were filed and investigated. While there was some rodent activity noted in 2014, more recent inspections have not reported this problem, suggesting previous pest control efforts were somewhat effective, though similar issues recurred in 2022.
