2838 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10306

The 84-unit, 2-story garden/apartment building at 2838 Hylan Boulevard in Oakwood, owned by David Malek, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months. Most concerning are eight simultaneous complaints filed on June 4, 2025, covering various problems including door and window frame issues, plumbing concerns (faucets/sinks and water supply), pest infestations, flooring problems, and radiator maintenance needs. While many of these complaints were closed following HPD inspections, there was a notable pattern of inspection failures, with HPD unable to complete inspections for multiple complaints.

A significant cluster of violations was documented in December 2024 in apartment A54, including issues with hot water temperature, radiator cover, window mechanism, bathroom fixtures, and the presence of roaches and mold. The building has also experienced plumbing issues in April 2025 affecting toilets and bathroom facilities, as well as a broken window guard safety concern that was investigated but found not to violate housing laws. The building's recent history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly in 2024-2025, with multiple violations requiring attention.

Inspections and service requests indicate ongoing issues with basic infrastructure including plumbing, pest control, and building safety features. Historical rodent inspections show varying results, with recent years (2020-2021) generally passing, though previous years (2013-2014) had failures. The property has undergone various repairs and maintenance requirements as evidenced by multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, many of which have been certified as corrected, though a non-emergency complaint regarding a bathtub/shower remains open as of June 2025.
