25 Bay Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10306

25 Bay Terrace, located in Staten Island's Bay Terrace neighborhood, is a 3-story, 65-unit residential building constructed in 1976 and currently owned by Kevin Springer. The building has experienced recurring pest and air quality issues over the past several years. Most notably, there were multiple rodent sightings reported in January 2020 (two incidents within three days) and a rat activity inspection in July 2024, following an initial rat activity finding in July 2024.

The property also faced several health-related complaints, including indoor air quality issues related to construction dust (September 2022), chemical vapors (March 2019), and unsanitary conditions linked to pests (June 2021) and garbage storage (January 2020). While the building passed several inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, including rat inspections in 2020 and 2024, the presence of these recurring issues is concerning. The building's maintenance record shows some compliance with reporting requirements, as evidenced by the most recent bedbug reports for 2024-2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

However, there was a violation noted in March 2023 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report. The property also faced a Department of Buildings violation in May 2019 for not filing a benchmarking report, though this violation was dismissed by July 2019. Permit records indicate activity in 2019 and 2020 with permits issued for work described as "EW." Despite the history of pest and air quality issues, recent inspections have shown improvements, particularly in bedbug management, with consistent reporting showing no active infestations over multiple reporting periods.
