1641 Castleton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The 6-unit, 2-story residential building at 1641 Castleton Avenue in Port Richmond, built in 1931 and currently owned by Ryan Lin, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring between 2019-2021. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, particularly highlighted by emergency complaints in March 2019 and January 2021, with at least one violation issued in 2021 regarding inadequate hot water in Apartment 2.

Multiple complaints in March 2019 regarding paint and plaster conditions of walls and ceilings, as well as pest issues, were recorded, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. More recent inspections have shown improvements in certain areas, particularly regarding bedbug management, with the most recent four bedbug reports (2022-2025) showing no infested units, though violations were recorded in 2021 related to missing annual bedbug reports.

The building's garbage/recycling storage was noted as unsanitary in June 2021, though this complaint was closed without violations. The property has undergone rodent inspections, passing one in 2012 and initially failing another in late 2011 for "Other Reasons." The most significant issues appear to be historical rather than ongoing, with no recent complaints regarding heat/hot water problems or pest infestations since 2021, and the building currently appears to be maintaining compliance with bedbug reporting requirements.
