156 John Street, Staten Island, NY 10302

This two-family residential building at 156 John Street in Port Richmond, owned by Michael Breen, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in August 2023, Apartment 2 on the second story was found to have multiple violations including mold issues, with documented cases of visible mold on the east, south, and west walls of the bathroom shower area (15 square feet total), as well as approximately 2 square feet of mold at the bathroom ceiling.

These violations were classified as Class A and B under the Housing Maintenance Code, though records indicate they were certified as corrected by September 13, 2023. Additionally, the same apartment had a record of a Class A violation for a broken or defective wood door saddle at the entrance to the second room from the east, which was also addressed by September 2023. The building's pest control record shows no evidence of bedbug infestations in the most recent two reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2020-2021), with all reported units showing zero infestation, eradication, or reinfestation cases.

A rodent inspection conducted in October 2015 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has experienced some moisture-related maintenance issues requiring attention, there is no current indication of ongoing pest problems, and all known violations from 2023 have been officially addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The structure, built in 1935, is typical of its age and configuration in representing the maintenance challenges of maintaining older residential buildings in the area.
