97 St Marys Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 97 St Marys Avenue in Rosebank, owned by Xia Ying Li and constructed in 1931, has experienced recurring maintenance and pest issues over the past few years. Most recently, in August 2024, the building faced two separate complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to investigate.

This followed a pattern of access issues, as earlier complaints in October 2023 regarding heat and hot water problems also resulted in failed inspections. The building has documented multiple rodent-related incidents, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) receiving complaints in July and August 2023, and inspections later in 2023 resulting in failed compliance checks.

Earlier records show similar pest concerns, including two complaints in January 2023 that were inspected but resulted in no violations being issued. The property's rodent inspection history indicates a problematic pattern, with failed inspections in September 2023 and August 2023, though a successful inspection in September 2021 and multiple passings in 2010 provide some historical context of improved conditions. Given the frequency of pest-related complaints and inspection failures, particularly in recent years, this building's maintenance history raises ongoing concerns about resident comfort and building upkeep.
