48 Amador Street, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 48 Amador Street in Graniteville, owned by Omaru Kabia and constructed in 1975, has experienced recurring heating system issues and maintenance concerns over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2023, there was a heat/hot water complaint that was promptly investigated by HPD, though no violations were found. A significant pest infestation was documented in April 2023, resulting in violations that are documented on the HPD website.

Between September and November 2021, the building faced multiple heating system problems, with several emergency complaints filed regarding inadequate heat/hot water across both individual units and the entire building. During this same period, there were additional complaints about flooring issues and plumbing problems in bathrooms, though inspectors were unable to access the property to verify these conditions. The building's recent history shows a pattern of heating system challenges, particularly during the 2021 season where multiple complaints were filed, some of which were duplicates of others.

The property has also been subject to three complaints regarding potential illegal commercial use of the residential space, with investigations conducted in 2020-2022. While no violations were found during one inspection in 2021, an Oath Violation was served in 2021. Notably, during the 2021 complaints, the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) experienced access issues in several instances when attempting to verify complaints, particularly regarding heating system problems, flooring, and plumbing concerns.
