101 Donley Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305

The 16-unit, 2-story building at 101 Donley Avenue in Shore Acres, owned by Anthony Brusco, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of September 2023, the building has multiple open violations from a September inspection of Apartment 1, including issues with doors, walls, carbon monoxide detectors, and electrical outlets.

The property has faced ongoing pest control challenges, with documented rodent activity in late 2023 showing bait application in December and rat activity noted in October and November. Recent inspections have also revealed unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, along with various other maintenance concerns such as broken fixtures, door issues, and paint/plaster problems. The building's recent history shows a pattern of infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including a troubling period in October 2022 with multiple heat and hot water complaints (though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification), and water leak issues.

In January 2024 alone, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing issues, and mold, indicating ongoing concerns about building systems and resident safety. While the building's history shows some compliance with inspections (such as in 2019 when plumbing issues were investigated but no violations were found), the current status suggests persistent maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety. The property has also experienced documented pest issues in the past, including a bedbug infestation in 2019 that affected two units before eradication, though no recent bedbug reports have been filed.
