3A Darcey Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 3A Darcey Avenue in Bull's Head, owned by Craig Meltzer, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2023-2025. The most pressing concerns involve recurring water supply problems, with multiple Housing Maintenance Code Complaints filed in August 2023 related to inadequate cold and hot water supply in both apartments 1A and 2A. These issues resulted in several class C violations under § 27-2024 of the Administrative Code, all of which have since been closed.

The building also faced heat and hot water supply problems in August 2023, though these were temporarily resolved according to tenant reports. More recent complaints in March 2025 involve unsanitary mold conditions and prohibited smoking in smoke-free areas, with the latter still requiring confirmation of resolution through official inspection reports. Looking back at historical records, the building's plumbing system has been a recurring source of concern, with three active Environmental Control Board violations from February 2018 related to unauthorized plumbing work, lack of proper testing, and gas supply issues, though one of these violations has since been resolved.

The property underwent rodent inspections in January 2021, passing the initial evaluation. While the building is classified as a two-family house and contains 110 units, this discrepancy may need clarification as it suggests a larger structure than typical for its designation. The most recent service request as of March 2025 indicates ongoing maintenance challenges that tenants should be aware of, though specific recommendations cannot be provided based on these findings.
