175 Cebra Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 175 Cebra Avenue in Tompkinsville, built in 1910 and currently owned by Kate Ogieriakhi, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year that merit attention. Most recently, in October 2023, multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding safety systems including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, sprinklers, and door issues; however, no violations were ultimately issued for these inspections. The building has faced significant plumbing and sanitary challenges, with two separate complaints about basin/sink issues in June and July 2023 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartment for verification.

More concerning are the open violations from July 2023 in Apartment 2FL related to lead-based paint hazards, mold conditions, and documented mice infestations, indicating potentially serious health and safety concerns. Additionally, there were temperature control issues with hot water exceeding the 130-degree F maximum, though this violation was certified as corrected in October 2023. The building's documented history also reveals ongoing maintenance challenges, including a June 2023 complaint about pest issues (for which violations were issued), and various complaints in 2023 regarding heat/hot water and door/window problems.

A significant portion of the complaints between June and October 2023 involved problems where inspectors were unable to gain access to verify conditions, indicating potential communication or scheduling issues. Of note is the building's permit history, showing a work permit was issued in November 2020, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the available records. While many recent complaints have been resolved, the persistence of certain violations and the pattern of access-related inspection challenges suggest ongoing maintenance and communication issues within the property.
