67 Willowwood Lane, Staten Island, NY 10308

The 2-family house at 67 Willowwood Lane in Bay Terrace, built in 1982 and currently owned by Li Chen, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over recent years, particularly in 2022. The building faced multiple reports of mold-related issues in both June and September 2022, with emergency complaints filed but notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions in September. The summer of 2022 also saw complaints regarding the stairways, though inspections in June did not result in any violations being issued.

Earlier records from May 2018 documented mold problems in the first-story apartment, affecting both the kitchen area and a second room, along with a violation related to a loose rain leader on the north exterior wall, which was subsequently addressed. A concerning safety oversight was noted in 2018 when carbon monoxide detectors were found to be missing in the entire first-story apartment, though this violation was later closed in July 2018. The Department of Buildings has documented several complaints regarding the property, with three notable cases in 2022-2023.

In June 2022, there was a complaint about building shaking or vibrations, which an inspector found did not warrant any violations. Two permit-related complaints were filed, one in December 2022 that required multiple inspection attempts before access could be gained, and another in May 2023 which resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection in June 2023. While some issues have been addressed and closed, the pattern of mold-related complaints and multiple inspection access problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges in the building's history.
