17 Sheraden Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314

The 28-unit building at 17 Sheraden Avenue in Castleton Corners, owned by Florentino Suarez, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems since at least 2020. Most recently, in November 2024, the entire building experienced heat and hot water outages, though these were reportedly resolved shortly thereafter. The building's heating and hot water infrastructure appears to be a persistent challenge, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2022 and 2024.

Other significant concerns include rodent control, with failed inspections noted in January and February 2023, and some building maintenance issues such as defective self-closing doors at the building entrance, as documented in recent violations from November 2024. The building has undergone several Department of Buildings inspections regarding zoning compliance and potential illegal conversions, though no violations were substantiated in recent examinations. The property has maintained a smoke-free environment, as evidenced by multiple Department of Health inspections in 2024 responding to smoking violations.

Notably, the building has an excellent record regarding bedbugs, with all recent annual filings from 2022 to 2024 reporting zero infested or re-infested units. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas in 2023, most recent violations and complaints have been promptly addressed, with enforcement actions resulting in timely corrections. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 continued the trend of confirmed absence of infestations, covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024.
