267 Locust Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

The two-family house at 267 Locust Avenue in New Dorp, owned by Amanda Dong, has experienced several recurring maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heat and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints filed between February and March 2025, and several others in late 2024, including a significant cluster of issues reported on November 23, 2024, involving water supply problems, general plumbing issues, and concerns regarding carbon monoxide detector and sprinkler system compliance.

The building has faced multiple accessibility challenges during inspections, with authorities often unable to gain entry to verify reported conditions. In addition to the heating issues, the property has encountered various other maintenance concerns, including a sewage odor complaint in November 2024, a ventilation system issue, and problems related to the illegal or improper vent/exhaust system (complaint filed in September 2024).

The building's mechanical systems have also been a source of concern, as evidenced by the Department of Buildings investigating a defective/inoperative boiler in late 2023, and a Work Without Permits violation in 2021. While many of these complaints were categorized as "emergency" situations and closed promptly after inspections, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems and basic safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in this two-story structure built in 1950.
