195 Charles Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 195 Charles Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Gene Rabkin, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues since 2013. Most notably, in March 2021, there was a complaint regarding unsanitary mold conditions that could not be inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

There has been a recurring pattern of rodent-related issues, with multiple inspections between 2013-2019 showing initial inspection failures, though subsequent compliance inspections generally passed. The building faced plumbing concerns in March 2019, when a complaint was filed but subsequently deemed unsubstantiated. The property, built in 1920, has undergone some official inspections and received respective permits, particularly for plumbing work in April 2019, which was issued and processed.

More recently, in January 2024, a sweep inspection was conducted with no violations found. While some issues appear to have been addressed over time, the recurring nature of the rodent problems and the inability to inspect the mold complaint in 2021 raises questions about consistent maintenance practices. The building's age and history of various complaints suggest that while some issues have been resolved through inspections and permits, others remain a potential concern for resident comfort, particularly regarding historical patterns of rodent incidents and moisture-related problems.
