15 Riverside Lane, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 15 Riverside Lane in Port Richmond, owned by Ying Dai, has experienced multiple concerning issues in the past year, warranting attention. In September 2024, five emergency complaints were filed and subsequently closed in October 2024, including reports of unsanitary sewage conditions, problems with doors, an electric/gas range issue, plumbing concerns involving a basin/sink, and flooring problems.

Notably, HPD inspectors attempted to access the property to investigate these complaints but reported being unable to gain entry, resulting in the closure of these inspections with recommendations for the residents to refile the complaints if issues persisted. Prior to these recent issues, the building had a rodent sighting complaint in December 2020 that also resulted in inspection access problems, though a subsequent rodent inspection in March 2021 was passed.

This 2014-built property, which stands two stories tall, shows a pattern of maintenance access challenges, as inspectors from both HPD and DOHMH have been unable to conduct thorough investigations when concerns were reported. While most of the recent complaints were ultimately closed, they represent a cluster of maintenance and safety concerns within a relatively short timeframe, particularly relating to basic building systems and sanitation.
