20 Cliff Street, Staten Island, NY 10305
20 Cliff Street, also known as Sea Cliff Towers, is a 6-story, 122-unit residential building located in the Shore Acres neighborhood, built in 1964 and currently owned by Robert Fitzsimmons. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being the failure to properly maintain and document required safety inspections.
As of mid-2025, there are active violations related to failing to submit required External Low-Pressure Inspection documentation for 2023, 2022, and 2021, as well as an open violation from 2019 regarding the FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report. In 2023, the building received an ECB violation for obstructed fire escape passageways, though this was resolved with a penalty. The building has had recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, particularly noted in spring 2022 when multiple complaints were filed about building-wide heat and hot water problems.
Other maintenance concerns have included window frame issues, garbage storage problems, and various unsanitary conditions, though many of these complaints were either resolved or closed without violations being found. Historical records show a pattern of construction-related complaints and violations between 2019-2020, including work conducted without proper permits and unsafe scaffolding conditions, though these were generally resolved. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbugs, reporting zero infestations in each annual filing from 2020 through 2025, and passed recent rodent inspections (most recently in 2023).
