196 Regis Drive, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 196 Regis Drive in Graniteville, built in 1974 and currently owned by Anna Cruz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during early 2020. In January 2020, the building faced multiple emergency incidents requiring attention, including problems with stairs/ flooring, mold, and various safety concerns such as broken window guards and missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department issued several violations during inspections in February 2020, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment, including problems with metal treads and risers in the entrance stairs, broken plaster surfaces in hallways and rooms, and a loose electrical light fixture. Prior to these incidents, the building had recorded a power outage in December 2019, though no violations were issued at that time.

The property had a rodent inspection in April 2017, which passed, but a pest-related violation was filed in January 2020. Most of the violations from early 2020 were eventually addressed and closed, including the repair of the bathtub stopper, restoration of safety devices, and various electrical and structural fixes. The building's most recent documented issues were resolved by February 2020, and there have been no recorded complaints or violations for more than three years, suggesting improved conditions since early 2020.
