160 Heberton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The 43-unit, 4-story residential building at 160 Heberton Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Kathleen Bielsa, has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular clusters of problems emerging in 2024. Most recently, in late 2024, violations were issued for flooring issues and plumbing problems in December, with earlier complaints that year addressing unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance problems (refrigerator and electric/gas range), and window frame issues. The building has a documented history of pest problems, with multiple complaints about roaches and mice infestations, particularly affecting Apartment 2B.

Additional maintenance issues have included heating problems affecting the entire building in early 2023, and various violations regarding ceiling and floor repairs in Apartment 3C from September 2024. The building's infrastructure has faced recurring challenges, particularly concerning the elevator system. Between 2018 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding the single elevator device and lack of alternate service, with inspections during this period finding no violations.

An active ECB violation from 2018 concerning car doors and gate issues on the 4th floor remains notable. Recent bedbug reports indicate only one infested unit in 2024, with successful eradication, and the most recent rodent inspection in November 2023 passed, though earlier inspections in 2024 recorded failures for other reasons. The property has shown some pattern of unsanitary conditions, with documented pest infestations in both 2022 and 2024, and multiple maintenance violations requiring various repairs and corrections throughout the building.
