5A Ludwig Lane, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 5A Ludwig Lane in Graniteville, owned by Roman Kravchik, was constructed in 2000 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues over its history. In December 2017, serious Class C violations were documented in Apartment A on the first story, citing failures to provide adequate heat, hot water, and gas supply to essential fixtures including the gas range.

In October 2018, a cluster of maintenance issues emerged, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) receiving multiple complaints that were not inspected due to access issues; these complaints spanned various categories including unsanitary conditions (pests), multiple plumbing issues (basin/sink problems), electrical problems (no lighting), safety concerns (smoke detector), and various issues with doors/windows, walls requiring paint/plaster work, and a refrigerator problem. While all of these complaints were ultimately closed by March 2019, the lack of access for inspection raises some concerns about underlying issues. Most recently, HPD violations from December 2017 related to heating, hot water, and gas supply systems were recorded as Class C violations, indicating potential health and safety risks.

While these violations were marked as closed, the absence of certified dates leaves some uncertainty about the resolution timeline. The building is currently classified as a 2 family house over 2 stories, with one documented unit, though its official construction classification suggests there may be another unit present. The most recent documented events occurred in 2019, with no subsequent complaints or violations recorded in the available data through October 2023.
