45 Scott Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 45 Scott Avenue in Arrochar, built in 1935 and currently owned by Scott 45 LLC, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly related to heating systems. Most notably, there have been two separate heat/hot water complaints in recent years (January 2023 and November 2022), with HPD violations issued in November 2022 indicating inadequate heat supply to Apartment 1R.

This apartment has faced multiple violations, including concerns about carbon monoxide detectors, water leaks, and various maintenance issues involving walls, ceilings, and flooring, some of which remain open as of the most recent inspection. Other complaints in 2022 included issues with cooking gas and electrical/gas range appliances, though these were resolved without violations. The building's documented history also includes a rat sighting in 2021 (which was investigated and found without violations) and regular inspections that have generally passed, including a rodents inspection in January 2022.

A bedbug report covering the period from November 2021 to October 2022 showed no infestations in the building. Most recently, in November 2024, a complaint about the building being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded" was filed, though this was later closed in April 2025 with no violations found at the time of inspection. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of heating system issues and various maintenance violations in Apartment 1R, particularly during the 2022-2023 period, while other apartments in the building have had fewer documented problems.
