135 Port Richmond Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 135 Port Richmond Avenue, owned by Mario Montuori, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in July 2023. During that month alone, there were four heat/hot water complaints, two of which resulted in inspections where no violations were found, though one inspection resulted in a violation regarding household items in the public hall.

Other July 2023 incidents included ventilation system issues (inspector couldn't gain access), and various building maintenance violations were documented through inspections, including problems with a bathtub, carbon monoxide detection system, and issues with loose sliding doors in the second-floor apartment. Prior to these recent events, there were notable issues in 2022-2023 including pest infestations (with violations issued in March 2023), water leaks, and plumbing problems affecting the bathtub/shower.

The building also received multiple violations during a July 2023 inspection related to apartment conditions, including requirements to paint various surfaces and address maintenance issues in Apartment 2. While some violations from inspections have been certified as corrected, others remain open as of the latest available data, including those related to plaster repairs and painting requirements in the kitchen and second room of Apartment 2. The property, built in 1931, has had recurring issues with basic services like heat/hot water and maintenance of building systems, particularly affecting the second-floor unit, based on the pattern of complaints and violations recorded through 2023.
