221 Cuba Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

221 Cuba Avenue is a two-family residential property located in Oakwood, Staten Island, consisting of two stories and constructed in 1986, currently owned by Shao Qun Jiang. The building has experienced significant plumbing and sanitation issues during the summer of 2023, with multiple emergency complaints filed between July 17 and July 25, including problems with toilets, heavy water leaks, bathtub/shower fixtures, and unsanitary sewage conditions.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect four of the five complaints filed on July 17, though inspections were conducted for one toilet-related complaint filed on July 17, resulting in documented violations. While the HPD closed these complaints on August 28, 2023, their resolution noted that if the identified conditions persisted, new complaints should be filed.

The building's plumbing system appears to require attention based on this pattern of reported issues, including a mix of both accessible and inaccessible conditions during HPD inspections. It's worth noting that all of these incidents occurred within a concentrated time period during summer 2023, with no subsequent complaints recorded in the following two years up to October 2023, suggesting either resolution of these issues or a potential decrease in reporting activity.
