188 Sand Lane, Staten Island, NY 10305

188 Sand Lane is a 4-unit, 2-story residential building located in the Arrochar neighborhood of Staten Island, owned by Izzat Abdel Kader and constructed in 1954. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most concerning being ongoing violations related to bedbug reporting requirements.

Between 2022 and 2024, the building received four consecutive violations (three of which remain open as of April 2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug reports with the Housing Preservation Department, despite one 2021 violation being closed. The building's pest management history shows a generally controlled environment, with no documented bedbug infestations during the 2019-2020 reporting period, and a successful rodent inspection in March 2021 that passed with no violations noted.

The property has experienced some environmental and health-related issues, including two separate poison ivy incidents in 2019 and 2020, for which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene issued official warnings to the owner, and a rat sighting in July 2020 that resulted in a passed inspection with only minor violations noted. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to pest control issues (as evidenced by the successful rodent inspection in 2021), the recurring bedbug reporting violations suggest a lack of compliance with this specific housing maintenance requirement. The most recent inspection data as of April 2024 shows these bedbug reporting violations remain unresolved, representing the only active housing maintenance code violations on record.
