228 Targee Street, Staten Island, NY 10304
The four-story, two-family house at 228 Targee Street in Clifton, owned by Austin Failla, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since its construction in 1985. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of pest-related complaints, with the latest incidents reported in February 2025 and January 2025, following multiple similar complaints in August 2024.
These pest issues have often led to HPD inspectors being unable to gain access for verification. The building has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints logged in January 2025 and earlier incidents in February 2021, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While some of these issues were addressed, as evidenced by closed complaints, the frequency and pattern suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
Historical records show significant rodent activity in 2016, with multiple bait applications required before passing inspections in 2018. Additionally, there are some unresolved maintenance concerns, including a 2019 violation regarding an apartment door in Unit A, and a 2021 citation for defective concrete treads in the rear yard, which remains open. The building's documented history indicates a persistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic services like heat and hot water, along with recurring pest problems that continue to affect resident quality of life.
