182 Ward Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

The property at 182 Ward Avenue in Tompkinsville is a two-family house constructed in 1990, currently owned by Stephen Parker. The building's most significant and concerning issue arose in late 2019, when multiple complaints were filed in December regarding plumbing (emergency), an electric/gas range (non-emergency), and flooring/stairs (non-emergency) issues, all of which were subsequently closed.

More notably, there were serious concerns about illegal apartment conversions, with a December 2019 violation documented by the Department of Buildings (DOB) stating that Apartment 1 contained an unauthorized Class "A" apartment with a full bathroom and kitchen in violation of the building's Certificate of Occupancy (C of O). This illegal conversion issue was also the subject of a September 2019 DOB complaint regarding partitioning, though the inspector was unable to gain access for final inspection in February 2020.

While an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation was ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed, the permitted occupancy was found to be inconsistent with official DOB records. The building's official classification as a two-family house and these various violations suggest past unauthorized modifications, though there have been no recorded housing maintenance complaints or violations since 2019, and the most recent documents indicate that these issues were addressed, though the resolution details are not fully specified in the available data.
