519 Tompkins Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305

The 3-story, 4-unit building at 519 Tompkins Avenue in Rosebank, built in 1930 and currently owned by 519 Tompkins Holdings LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in 2025. The building has particularly struggled with heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints between March and April 2025, with at least eight separate incidents reported through 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code system.

While most of these complaints were eventually resolved, there were persistent issues, with one complaint remaining open as of March 24, 2025. More recently, in May 2025, there was a door-related issue that resulted in HPD violations being issued, indicating a need for repairs by the property owner.

The building's history shows some maintenance challenges, including violations documented in September 2023 regarding a defective electrical outlet cover and closet door in Apartment 1R, though these were certified as corrected by November 2023. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in June 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access on the first attempt. However, the property has maintained a good record regarding bedbugs and rodents, with no reported infestations in any of the recent bedbug filings from 2022 to 2025 and successful rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, though one initial inspection in 2012 failed for "Other Reasons." The building's maintenance record suggests ongoing heating system challenges, particularly in early 2025, while other maintenance issues appear to be addressed in a timely manner when reported.
