80 Richmond Hill Road, Staten Island, NY 10314

The 7-story, 243-unit residential building at 80 Richmond Hill Road in New Springville, owned by Nathan Levari and constructed in 1988, has experienced multiple significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2023-2025). Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with documented outages in November 2024 and February 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced multiple unsanitary conditions, including documented mold and pest infestations (specifically in September 2024), though inspections have revealed various levels of violations. A cluster of electrical issues was reported in September 2024, including power outages and problems with outlets and switches.

The building has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of September 2024, primarily related to Unit 7C, including issues with doors, windows, mold, and various plumbing and electrical systems. There are also persistent outstanding demands regarding Building Code compliance, with multiple violations related to failure to submit required cycle inspection reports (Cycle 8B and 9B) for exterior walls. While the building's management has shown some responsiveness to complaints, as evidenced by HPD inspection follow-ups, there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to complete necessary evaluations, particularly in response to recent complaints about plumbing and heating issues. Recent environmental control board violations indicate failure to submit acceptable required Cycle 9B reports regarding exterior wall conditions, resulting in penalties.

The elevator system has been a recurring area of concern, with multiple complaints documented between 2019 and 2024, though most recent inspections have found no violations. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2025), and while there were two documented cases in 2020-2021, both were successfully eradicated. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of emerging issues through 2024, including multiple open violations and recurring problems with basic services such as heat and hot water. However, the absence of recent bedbug infestations and the relatively quick resolution of some complaints suggest variable responsiveness to maintenance issues. Recent inspection activity indicates ongoing monitoring of building conditions, with particular attention needed for the outstanding violations related to heating systems, electrical infrastructure, and building envelope maintenance.
