149 Weed Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

The two-family house at 149 Weed Avenue in New Dorp Beach, owned by Michael Verdi, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues during December 2024, following a history of problems in recent years. Most notably, there were two separate incidents in December 2024 where residents reported lack of heat and hot water, with the first complaint on December 4 leading to housing violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply in Apartment 1, and a subsequent similar complaint on December 23.

The December 4 incident resulted in open Class C violations under NYC Administrative Code § 27-2029 and § 27-2031, specifically citing inadequate heat and hot water supply at all fixtures in Apartment 1, though these violations were scheduled for correction under the law's provisions. These recent heating problems appear to be part of a recurring pattern, as the building had experienced hot water issues in September 2023.

The December 2024 incidents required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with inspectors responding to both emergencies, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored by the time of inspection in the latter case. While both complaints were officially closed after inspection, the persistence of heating system issues and the existence of open violations may indicate ongoing concerns with the building's infrastructure and maintenance compliance. The building, constructed in 1950, is classified as a one-story two-family residence and has had these notable heating and hot water service disruptions recorded specifically in Apartment 1.
