507 West Caswell Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 507 West Caswell Avenue in Graniteville, owned by Pishoy Bebawi, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with the most recent problems documented in January 2022 and September 2021. The 2022 incident involved only one apartment, while the September 2021 incidents affected both individual units and the entire building.

In September 2021, the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Department was able to inspect one apartment and confirm inadequate heat and hot water conditions, resulting in a violation against the property. Specifically, a violation was documented for Apartment 2 on September 21, 2021, regarding the lack of hot water at all fixtures, though the disposition status is currently listed as "None." The building's history also includes an investigation by the Department of Buildings in late 2021 regarding a potential illegal conversion, filed on November 10, 2021.

This complaint was marked as closed on April 8, 2022, but access to the property was denied on two separate occasions during the investigation. The structure, built in 1945, is classified as a two-story, two-family house and has had no documented building code violations or complaints since April 2022, suggesting an improvement in maintenance issues, though this period only extends through October 2023, which is the most recent data available.
