112 South Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 112 South Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Jairo Lopez, has experienced significant maintenance and compliance issues since at least 2022. Most notably, there are multiple active violations regarding occupancy and safety concerns in the cellar area, with fines totaling $8,750 for obstructed exits and unauthorized occupancy, including a current $2,500 fine for violating occupancy terms of the Certificate of Occupancy. The property has a documented history of plumbing issues, particularly in early 2025, with multiple complaints and emergency responses concerning basins/sinks and toilets, some of which resulted in HPD violations where the property owner was given time to correct the conditions.

In addition to plumbing problems, the building has faced several systemic maintenance challenges. Multiple housing code violations remain open from 2024, including issues with rodent infestations, bathroom fixtures, and various repair needs in Apartment 1, while Apartment 1F has documented pest violations (mice and roaches) from November 2024. The building's infrastructure has also been a concern, with reports of cracked structures noted in a 2022 inspection, though this particular violation is listed as resolved.

Recent inspections in 2025 have shown some improvements, such as passing rodent inspections in July 2024 after a failed inspection in May 2024. The property has been subject to multiple building inspections and service requests, particularly in 2024-2025, indicating ongoing monitoring by city agencies. The building's recorded history includes three complaints about illegal conversions (2022-2025), two instances of construction enforcement investigations, and multiple service requests regarding general maintenance issues like cooling towers, heating, and various plumbing concerns. While various complaints have been investigated and closed, many violations remain active as of 2025, suggesting ongoing compliance challenges facing the property.
