100 Colfax Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

The 159-unit, 6-story residential building at 100 Colfax Avenue in Grant City, owned by Kevin Swetsky, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since 2018. Most recently, in May 2025, there was a heavy water leak complaint that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. In 2024, there was a flooring issue, and throughout 2023, multiple housing maintenance complaints were filed regarding various conditions, including unsanitary mold, electrical lighting problems, appliance issues, wall concerns, and ventilation system problems, though no violations were ultimately found in these cases.

The building has also faced challenges with safety equipment, including violations in 2023 for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2H, which were certified as corrected by October 2023. The property has a documented history of pest control challenges, with multiple pest-related complaints between 2021-2022, including a sewage issue in 2021 that was classified as emergency. Bedbug reports show one instance of infestation in 2020-2021, though recent filings from 2022-2024 indicate no current infestations. The building's maintenance history reveals several missed inspection and reporting requirements, particularly regarding energy benchmarking reports between 2019-2024, though most violations have been dismissed upon confirmation of compliance.

Recent Department of Buildings inspections in 2025 have addressed elevator and after-hours work concerns, with one elevator violation resulting in an Oath violation being served. The building has undergone regular inspections for rodent activity, with mixed results, though recent inspections have shown compliance. Multiple permits have been issued between 2018-2020 for various building maintenance and repair work, indicating ongoing efforts to maintain the property's infrastructure. The most recent Bedbug Reporting shows no current infestations for the 2022-2023 period, and the building's management has generally responded to HPD violations and complaints, though access issues have occasionally hindered inspections.
