351 Adelaide Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10306

The 16-unit, 2-story residential building at 351 Adelaide Avenue in Oakwood, owned by Javier Lezamiz, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since at least 2019. Most recently, in September 2023, there were two emergency plumbing/water supply incidents that required HPD intervention.

The building has a notable pattern of infrastructure concerns, particularly with the intercom system, which has generated multiple violation notices and complaints between 2022 and 2023, including an open violation from April 2023 regarding a defective intercom panel in the first-story vestibule. Water-related issues have persisted, with plumbing complaints in September 2023 and multiple heat/hot water emergencies in January 2020, though access issues have sometimes prevented inspections. The property has also faced challenges with basic building systems and maintenance compliance, including an open violation related to annual bedbug report filings (first noted in 2021 and re-inspected in 2024).

In the past, there have been isolated incidents involving electrical problems, including a power outage in 2019, and pest-related issues documented in 2019. While many complaints have been resolved without violations being issued, the persistence of certain issues, particularly the intercom system and water-related problems, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's response to emergency complaints and HPD inspections has generally resulted in closure of issues, though access restrictions have sometimes limited full investigation of reported problems.
