580 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The three-story, two-family house at 580 Van Duzer Street in Tompkinsville, owned by Nunzio Fontana, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest issues since at least 2018, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in early 2024. The property, built in 1901, has three housing units and has shown persistent pest problems, particularly in Apartment 3, with documented rodent and roach infestations in 2022, along with mice infestations noted in multiple years. Recent inspections in 2024 revealed a range of issues including concerns with heat/hot water, plumbing, flooring, window frames, and kitchen appliances, though no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints.

The building's maintenance history shows some improvements, as several past violations related to peeling paint, door issues, and radiator covers in Apartment 3 were certified as corrected by 2024. However, there remain ongoing concerns about unsanitary conditions, including a 2024 complaint regarding pests that required HPD intervention. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2018 and 2021, with varying results including confirmed rat activity and instances of bait application, suggesting a persistent rodent control issue.

While there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years (with the last inspection reports from 2020-2021 showing zero cases), the overall maintenance history indicates regular tenant-reported issues requiring government intervention, particularly relating to appliances, plumbing, and pest control. In conclusion, while the building has addressed some historical violations and maintenance issues, there appears to be an ongoing pattern of maintenance concerns, particularly regarding pest control and basic building systems, as evidenced by repeated tenant complaints and the need for HPD inspections and interventions. The most recent service requests in early 2024 highlight continued challenges with building systems and pest management.
