88 South Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The 88 South Avenue property, located in Mariners Harbor and owned by Joseph Yan, is a two-family, two-story house built in 2004. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most recent complaints in April 2025 documenting problems with lighting, door frames, doors, and sink plumbing, all of which resulted in violations that require correction.

The property has a history of various maintenance challenges, including multiple plumbing issues (sink and toilet problems), electrical lighting concerns, and door-related matters. Of particular note is the apartment 2 infestation problem documented in December 2021, which was classified as a bedbug and roach infestation, and remains an open violation in the housing maintenance code records. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns, including multiple plumbing issues (bathtub/shower problems in 2021, sink issues in 2023), electrical problems (lighting issues in both 2023 and 2025), and infrastructural concerns such as the defective rear steps noted in December 2021.

The property has also experienced significant resident comfort issues, with a December 2021 complaint about heat and hot water outages being investigated, though tenants reported restoration of services. Several of the building's documented violations remain open as of June 2025, including a defective ceiling light fixture in the first bathroom of apartment 1 and multiple open violations from December 2021 in apartment 2 related to electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures, and pest infestations. The persistence of these issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, with multiple instances requiring housing preservation department intervention and the issuance of violations over the past several years.
