45 Vera Street, Staten Island, NY 10305

The 118-unit, 2-story residential building at 45 Vera Street in Dongan Hills, owned by Matthew Lamonica, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues since 2010. The most recent inspection report from March 2023 showed violations regarding the annual bedbug report filings, though the building has since maintained a zero infestation status in subsequent 2025 filings. Between 2021-2022, the building faced multiple infrastructure challenges, including a water leak (2022), and simultaneous plumbing, electrical, fire escape, and garbage storage issues (September 2021), all of which were closed with no violations issued upon inspection.

The building also had a period of pest management concerns in June 2020, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, though inspections found no violations. Recent activity from late 2023 indicates potential plumbing work without proper permits, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building has undergone regular rodent inspections between 2010-2018, showing mixed results with initial failures followed by compliance success.

A carbon monoxide detector violation was noted in June 2020 for Apartment D, and there is an ongoing 311 complaint about bees/wasps since July 2022. The property has maintained consistent bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, though there were multiple violations noted in 2020-2022 regarding the filing requirements. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, many have been addressed promptly, with most recent complaints focusing on bee management and plumbing work.
