252 Targee Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 252 Targee Street in Clifton, built in 1899 and currently owned by Francisco Robles, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly in its first-floor apartment (Apartment 1). The property has received multiple emergency service requests through HPD in 2023, including recent mold concerns in December 2023 that resulted in violations being issued.

Notable ongoing issues include multiple instances of mold, sanitation concerns, and plumbing problems, with seven separate HPD complaints recorded between February and December 2023, some of which were marked as emergency situations. The building is also facing structural and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the violations issued on December 6, 2023, which include problems with lead-based paint, mold, broken plaster surfaces, and a roach infestation throughout Apartment 1.

Historical records show a permit was issued in September 2019, but there is no indication of what work was authorized. Three housing maintenance code violations were issued in late 2023, all of which (except one related to lead paint) require various forms of remediation, including addressing visible mold conditions in multiple locations and repairing broken plaster surfaces.
