71 Bush Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

71 Bush Avenue is a two-family house built in 2018 in the Mariners Harbor neighborhood, currently owned by Fang Ouyang. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction, with the most recent complaint occurring in late 2021 regarding paint and plaster problems in the second-story apartment, for which Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations that were certified as corrected by May 2022.

Between July and August 2020, multiple issues were reported in the same time period, including a water leak, electrical lighting problems, and mold concerns, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions. Additionally, a July 2021 inspection revealed a roach infestation in the third-floor apartment, which was subsequently addressed and certified as corrected by August 2021.

The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in the period from 2020 to 2021. While the majority of these issues were officially closed through HPD's processes, the inability to gain access for inspections in 2020 raises some concerns about the thoroughness of resolution verification for those particular complaints. The construction of the building was permitted in November 2019 under job number 540171311, and records show that some of these initial construction-related issues required attention during the building's early years of operation.
