48 Gordon Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 48 Gordon Street in Stapleton, built in 1901 and currently owned by Nunzio Fontana, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concern regarding heating systems. In January 2019, there was a series of emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water in the apartments, with inspections showing an excessive water temperature violation of 154°F in the 2nd-floor kitchen and a defective carbon monoxide detector, though these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. More recently, in May 2022, there were complaints about paint/plaster issues in the ceilings and walls, which were inspected but no violations were found.

A rodent sighting complaint in 2022 was unable to be investigated due to access issues, and while rodent inspections in 2014 showed mixed results (initially failed but later passed), there have been no confirmed rodent issues in recent years. The building's bedbug reporting history shows no infestations reported in the past four annual cycles from 2019 to 2025, indicating effective pest management. The most recent bedbug report from June 2025 covers the period from November 2023 to October 2024, showing zero infested units.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug regulations, with no reported re-infestations or the need for eradication efforts. While there have been several maintenance issues requiring inspection and response from city agencies, most have been resolved or closed without issued violations. The building's 311 service requests and housing maintenance code complaints have primarily involved non-emergency paint/plaster issues and heating concerns, which, while notable, do not represent an ongoing pattern of serious maintenance problems.
