30 Grandview Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

30 Grandview Avenue is a 3-story, 6-unit residential building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Robert Adamo. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing concerns emerging in mid-2025, when multiple housing complaints were filed regarding various problems including an appliance issue (refrigerator), multiple instances of pest-related concerns, and deficiencies in plumbing (bathtub/shower), paint/plaster (ceiling), and flooring/stairs. All these complaints were closed due to inspector inaccessibility, with HPD inspectors unable to conduct inspections despite leaving cards and requesting follow-up communication.

The building has a documented history of violations and complaints dating back several years, including a fire incident in December 2023 that affected the front portico and created vent holes from firefighting operations. Between 2019 and 2024, the property accumulated various violations, including concerns about unauthorized unit conversions (with evidence suggesting more than 5 units were being occupied), fire escape maintenance issues, and problems with building cleanliness and water leaks in common areas. Notably, the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since mid-2024, with no active infestations reported, and has passed rodent inspections in 2019, 2015, and 2010, although there were failed inspections for "Other Reasons" in both 2010 and 2015.

The property shows patterns of recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding ceiling conditions and plumbing problems, with multiple complaints about these issues reported in both 2025 and 2024. The building has faced challenges with timely inspections and resolution of complaints, as evidenced by multiple HPD inspection attempts where access was not granted. While many violations have been resolved, there are several open and recently closed violations related to fire safety and building maintenance, including a December 2023 active DOB violation regarding damage from a fire at the front portico. The most recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the failure to complete inspections and the associated closed status of these complaints indicate the need for residents to re-report any persistent issues through proper channels.
