242 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10305

The 2-family house at 242 Hylan Boulevard, owned by Gina Franco, was built in 1925 and is located in the Shore Acres neighborhood. The property has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns being water leaks and electrical problems.

Notably, there were two water leak complaints in September 2023 and multiple power outages in 2023 (July and August), all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but did not result in any violations. The building has also faced various other maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions with pest infestations (particularly in May 2023), plumbing issues affecting sinks and bathtubs, and problems with doors, windows, and various surfaces requiring repairs. The property underwent a comprehensive inspection on May 12, 2023, which resulted in multiple violations being documented in Apartment 2, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), plumbing issues, and problems with windows and doors.

Prior to this, in late 2022, there were concerns about a missing carbon monoxide detector in Apartment 1. While there were two complaints about illegal conversion and defective electrical wiring in 2019 and 2022, these were ultimately unsubstantiated or resulted in no violations. Historical records show a passed rodent inspection in 2014, and two permits were issued for work at the property: one in 2019 related to alterations and another in early 2023 for unspecified electrical work.
