204 Ward Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

204 Ward Avenue is a 3-story, 2-family house located in Tompkinsville, built in 1989 and currently owned by Gary Grinberg. The property has experienced recurring pest control issues over the years, with the most recent documented rodent-related complaints occurring in 2020, prompting inspections in February (failed) and September (passed). Previous infestations were documented between late 2011 and 2012, during which multiple bait applications were carried out.

The building has undergone significant maintenance events, particularly in 2013-2014, primarily affecting the second-floor apartment (Apt 2). These included the repair of electrical outlets, carbon monoxide detector replacement, kitchen tile repairs, and hot water provision issues, all of which were eventually certified as resolved by December 2019. The apartment faced additional challenges in 2013, with violations recorded for safety-related matters including inadequate electric service supply to various fixtures and the need for interior painting with light-colored paint.

Pest control issues were also documented in September 2013, with violations recorded for insect and rodent infestations. The building's recent history shows some improvement in pest management, with the most recent rodent inspection in September 2020 resulting in a passing grade, though it's worth noting that multiple bait applications were previously required in 2011-2012. While many of the historical violations have been resolved, the property's maintenance record between 2011 and 2019 suggests periods of significant addressing of infrastructure and safety concerns, particularly in relation to electrical systems, plumbing, and pest control.
