249 Nicholas Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

At 249 Nicholas Avenue in Port Richmond, this two-family home built in 1920 has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns about pest control and building infrastructure. Most recently, in late 2023 through mid-2024, there was an unsanitary condition complaint regarding pests that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, marking a continuation of a documented pattern with pest problems, as similar complaints were filed in July 2022.

The building has also experienced electrical issues, specifically lighting problems in July 2022, which HPD was also unable to inspect. Prior to these concerns, there was a heat and hot water emergency in April 2019, though tenants reported that services were restored by the time of HPD's response.

The property underwent a rodent inspection in April 2022, which it passed, showing no violations at the time. While not all complaints resulted in violations, the recurring nature of pest-related issues and the history of infrastructure problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
