55 Racal Court, Staten Island, NY 10314

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 55 Racal Court in New Springville, owned by Louis Parascando, has been subject to recurring bedbug reporting compliance issues over the past several years. The building, constructed in 1982, has open violations from 2022 through 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), indicating ongoing non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements.

While bedbug-related issues have been documented in the building's history, the official HPD filings from 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 reported no infested dwelling units, suggesting the infestation problems may be more administrative than biological in recent years. The building's maintenance history also includes rodent activity in mid-2015, with an initial inspection in July of that year documenting rat presence, though a subsequent September inspection showed compliance status with no violations.

A separate complaint about an inadequate fence on the property was filed in October 2022, though this was investigated and no violations were found upon inspection in November of the same year, suggesting prompt attention to property maintenance issues when they arise. While the building's documented issues have primarily revolved around administrative compliance matters rather than immediate health or safety concerns, the persistent nature of the bedbug report violations over multiple years represents the building's most significant ongoing regulatory challenge.
