1371 Bay Street, Staten Island, NY 10305

The two-family house at 1371 Bay Street in Shore Acres, owned by Wael Joudeh, has a varied maintenance history since its construction in 1800. Most notably, as of October 2023, there are several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from January 2022 concerning Apartment 1, including issues with a defective wood door jamb and casing, a broken door, and missing carbon monoxide detectors, plus a significant violation regarding an illegal fastening slide bolt on the building entrance door.

The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues in 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed in March, August, and October, though these were eventually resolved. Between 2020 and 2024, the property has had several food-related incidents investigated by the Department of Health, with the most recent complaint in May 2024 regarding food poisoning, and previous issues including contaminated food and odor problems, though these were either addressed or referred to the New York State Agriculture and Markets.

The building's appliance and electrical systems have also required attention, with complaints about a refrigerator and electrical outlet/switch issues in January 2022, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but no violations were issued. A Department of Buildings complaint from January 2020 regarding building permits resulted in access denial during inspection. While many past complaints have been properly addressed and closed, the presence of multiple open violations regarding apartment safety features and security systems is noteworthy.
