22 Avon Place, Staten Island, NY 10301

22 Avon Place is a 2-family house located in Tompkinsville, Staten Island, that was built in 1930 and contains 4 units, currently owned by Maria Smith. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in August 2023, when multiple violations were documented, including electrical problems (lighting and outlet issues), pest infestations, and safety concerns such as malfunctioning smoke detectors and door problems.

These issues primarily affected apartments 1 and 2LEFT, and while many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by October 2023, the building's maintenance history shows recurring problems with electricity, pest control, and safety systems. Prior to these recent issues, there were documented problems with heat and hot water access in January 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Rodent activity was recorded in February 2022, with some improvement noted in March 2022 when the property passed a compliance inspection, suggesting temporary resolution of pest issues.

Historical inspection records show that the building had passed rodent inspections in 2014, indicating that pest management was generally effective before 2021-2022. The building's ongoing issues since 2021 suggest systematic maintenance challenges, particularly regarding building systems and pest control, with the most recent violations primarily concentrated in one apartment (Apartment 1). The 2023 violations included multiple electrical problems, pest infestations, safety device failures, and door issues, though most have been addressed according to subsequent inspections.
