48 Grand Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The 5-unit, 3-story building at 48 Grand Avenue in Grymes Hill, owned by Mary Stephens, was built in 1940 and has had several notable incidents and compliance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the consistent non-compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations from 2021 to 2024, all related to the failure to file the mandatory Annual Bedbug Report as required by Section HMC of the Housing Maintenance Code.

The building has also experienced water-related maintenance issues, with two separate reports in September 2018 regarding unmaintained standing water in a swimming pool, one of which was referred to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene for review. Additionally, the property has faced sanitation concerns, including a garbage/recycling storage issue in September 2018 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were issued in that case.

On the pest management front, a rodent inspection in April 2015 resulted in a passing grade following an initial failure in March 2015 for unspecified reasons. It's worth noting that while the building's history reveals some maintenance and reporting issues, particularly regarding bedbug reporting compliance, there have been no documented complaints or violations directly related to resident safety concerns or hazardous conditions in recent years.
