97 Nicholas Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 97 Nicholas Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Boris Polonskiy, has a documented history of maintenance issues and pest problems dating back to 2012. Most recently, in 2022, there were two reports of rodent activity, with one inspection attempt by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) unable to access the property.

The building experienced significant maintenance challenges in 2018, particularly in the first apartment, where multiple violations were recorded between August 15-23, including problems with kitchen floor tiles, marble countertops, bathroom fixtures, and electrical supply issues. All these violations were certified as corrected by September 25, 2018. A power outage was also reported and investigated during this period, though no violations were issued.

The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with inspections showing patterns of activity between 2012-2016, including multiple failed inspections and reports of rat activity. While the building was constructed in 1899, the documented history suggests persistent maintenance challenges and pest control issues, with the most recent rodent complaints in 2022 being particularly notable given the apparent lack of recent pest control measures in the intervening years. The building underwent an illegal conversion investigation in December 2018, but the inspection found no violations at that time.
