245 Lockman Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 245 Lockman Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Lockman Ventures LLC, has experienced recurring water-related issues since its construction in 2003. Most recently, in October 2020, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks and mold, including a slow leak, damp spot, and unsanitary conditions, with one of these resulting in housing maintenance code violations following an inspection in November 2020.

These violations specifically required repairs to address a roof leak affecting the ceiling in the fourth room from the east in Apartment 2, along with issues related to plastered surfaces. The building's history reveals a pattern of water-related problems, with significant violations recorded in September 2017 in Apartment 1A (first story), including multiple instances of water leaks affecting bathroom and kitchen ceilings, damage to plastered surfaces, and electrical safety concerns due to exposed wires in the second room from the east.

These violations were subsequently certified as corrected between late 2019 and early 2023. Given the building's age and recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to water damage and its effects on interior surfaces, it appears these challenges may be systemic, though many violations have been formally closed through later repairs and certifications.
