49 Newberry Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-story, six-unit building at 49 Newberry Avenue in South Beach, owned by Shiqiri Veliu and constructed in 1971, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in February 2019, though these services were reportedly restored within days.

A concerning pattern has emerged in the building's more recent history, with the property receiving multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations between 2021 and 2024 related to failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, suggesting ongoing pest management compliance issues. The building also experienced a cluster of violations in February 2019 that highlight safety and maintenance concerns, particularly in Apartment 1.

These included issues with self-closing doors, missing carbon monoxide detectors, missing smoke detectors, inadequate heat supply, and failure to post required safety notices regarding gas leaks and housing information. While these violations were documented in 2019, the current status of these specific issues as of 2025 is not clearly indicated in the available data, though it is noteworthy that the bedbug reporting violation has persisted unchanged through multiple inspections from 2021 to 2024. The combination of these historical and ongoing violations suggests there may be recurring challenges with building maintenance and code compliance.
