264 Woodward Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 264 Woodward Avenue in Emerson Hill, owned by Thomas Grossman, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most recent problems occurring in early 2025 involving plumbing issues with a basin/sink and toilet. The property has had several plumbing-related incidents, including three emergency service requests for basin/sink problems between 2024 and 2025, as well as a heavy water leak identified in June 2023.

The building has faced several other maintenance challenges, particularly in mid-2023 when multiple violations were documented across various systems, including walls requiring attention (paint/plaster), flooring issues, and concerns with cabinets. A pest infestation complaint was recorded in October 2024, though HPD was unable to conduct a complete inspection at that time.

Additional maintenance needs were identified in December 2024, including window frame issues, mold concerns, electrical outlet problems, and various flooring concerns, though most of these were categorized as non-emergency. While many of these issues have been addressed and closed through HPD inspections, with some requiring corrections by the property owner, the frequency and variety of complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The property's violation history, particularly regarding plumbing and general repairs, indicates a pattern of maintenance issues that have required multiple interventions from housing authorities over the past two years.
