15 Windemere Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

The 16-unit, 2-story residential building at 15 Windemere Avenue in Oakwood, owned by Matthew Nichol, has maintained a generally positive record since its construction in 1963, though there have been some notable concerns. Most recently, in early 2024, there were two significant incidents: the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to a complaint about an unsanitary animal situation involving a cat, though their inspection found no violations; and the building underwent a rodent inspection in March 2024, which it passed.

This followed a concerning period in early 2012 when multiple bait applications were required over several months, coinciding with two inspections showing rat activity in April and May of that year. Importantly, the building has demonstrated effective pest management over the past decade and more, particularly regarding bedbugs; annual filings from 2019 through 2024 have consistently reported zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

The property has also maintained rodent control measures since the significant activity in 2011-2012, with the most recent inspection in 2024 showing compliance with health standards. The only other recorded complaint in recent years was the cat-related incident in early 2024, which, while requiring governmental intervention, resulted in no violations being found during the inspection.
