117 Arlington Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 117 Arlington Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Shi Guan Lin, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2019. Most notably, there has been a recurring pattern of heat and hot water problems, with numerous complaints filed between March 2023 and August 2024, including multiple emergency requests in June 2024 alone.

These heating and hot water issues appear to have affected multiple units, though some complaints were filed as apartment-specific issues. The building has also faced problems with its ventilation system (June 2023), electric range appliance (July 2023, with violations issued), and a power outage incident (March 2023).

While a mold issue was reported and inspected in July 2023, with no violations issued, the building has been relatively clear of pest problems, as evidenced by the bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024 showing no infestations or eradication efforts required. Despite these maintenance challenges, including three open complaints in June 2024 regarding water supply issues, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) has generally conducted inspections for reported problems, though access issues have occasionally impeded their evaluations. The building's relatively recent construction date (2019) raises questions about the persistence of these maintenance issues, which span both emergency and non-emergency categories.
