3280 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10303

The 4-unit, 2-story residential building at 3280 Richmond Terrace in Mariners Harbor, owned by Victor Pinzon and constructed in 1986, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, in early 2024, there were significant problems in Apartment 1F, including mold (emergency violation), inadequate heat (Class C violation), and excessively hot water (Class C violation), along with pest infestations that required correction. The building has a documented history of mold issues, with similar complaints in November 2018, though no violations were found at that time.

Recent maintenance violations in 2024 also included various building system issues such as a locked boiler room access, bathroom repairs needed for caulking and tub refinishing, kitchen cabinet repairs, and a defective self-closing entrance door. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no units reported as infested in the past four years (2021-2025), and previous reporting periods consistently showed zero infestations. The building's plumbing systems have varied in performance, with documented violations regarding hot water temperatures, though these were certified as corrected in 2024.

Recent inspections of the sidewalk shed area (2023) and related powerline safety compliance (2023), while resulting in no violations, indicate ongoing construction-related oversight. The building underwent regular rodent inspections, passing an initial inspection in 2010, and has consistently filed annual bedbug reports with no incidents to report. The most recent 311 complaints and subsequent HPD inspections demonstrate prompt attention to reported issues, though some violations were initially found requiring correction. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to various maintenance issues, with the most recent cluster of violations in early 2024 representing the most significant documented maintenance concerns to date.
