2481 Richmond Road, Staten Island, NY 10306

The three-story, two-family house at 2481 Richmond Road in New Dorp, owned by Stuart Waldman, has a substantial historical record dating back to its 1908 construction. The property has recently faced repeated issues with garbage and recycling storage, with multiple complaints filed in 2024 resulting in inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were ultimately issued for these recent complaints. However, there are three open violations from 2024 that require attention: two involve obstructions to fire escape egress caused by flower pots (one on the second-story balcony and another at the second story) and one concerning refuse accumulation in the north (rear) court area.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent sanitation concerns, particularly in early 2019 when multiple food-related complaints were filed, suggesting potential health code violations at that time. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been ongoing issues with the external low-pressure systems, with multiple violations issued for failure to file required inspections between 2018 and 2023. The property has also experienced rodent activity, with inspections showing varied results between 2011 and 2020.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years, the building's overall maintenance record indicates recurring issues with waste management and compliance with safety requirements. A Partial Stop Work Order was issued in April 2025, suggesting ongoing construction-related concerns, though a subsequent Stop Work Order was fully rescinded in July 2025. The building has maintained compliance with the Bedbug Reporting requirements, showing no instances of infestation in recent reporting periods.
