90 Laurel Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 90 Laurel Avenue in Clifton, built in 1940 and currently owned by Yelvis Etelzon, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2020. During December 2020, multiple complaints were filed regarding various maintenance issues including plumbing problems (involving sinks and toilets), door issues, wall conditions, and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

Notably, both plumbing-related complaints were categorized as emergencies. These complaints, along with others related to window and door problems, were closed between December 2020 and January 2021, though the resolution descriptions indicated that inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections and advised filing new complaints if issues persisted. More recent issues include a July 2022 complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, which was closed in October 2022 under similar circumstances of denied access for inspection.

The building experienced a rat sighting in August 2019, which was closed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, and a window frame issue that same month which was inspected by HPD with no violations found. A potentially concerning event was recorded in September 2018 regarding building shaking/vibration affecting structural stability, though inspections conducted on the same day found no violations. Given the recurring nature of pest-related complaints and multiple instances of plumbing issues, particularly during the 2020-2021 period, this property has exhibited some challenges in maintaining basic housing conditions, though most complaints have been formally closed through the appropriate channels.
