3470 Amboy Road, Staten Island, NY 10306

At 3470 Amboy Road in Staten Island's Bay Terrace neighborhood, this two-family residence built in 1963 has experienced several maintenance issues over the summer of 2023. The most concerning recent incident was a power outage on July 23-31, 2023, which resulted in housing maintenance code violations related to inadequate electric service to the ceiling light fixture in Apartment 1F.

This was classified as an immediate emergency and was officially closed with violations. The building has also faced multiple pest-related complaints, with reports filed on June 21 and June 26, 2023; while one of these complaints resulted in an HPD inspection and violations, others were closed without access being granted for inspection. Throughout June and July 2023, several other maintenance issues were reported and addressed, including mold concerns (June 21-30), flooring problems (June 21-30), window pane issues (June 21-30), ceiling condition complaints (June 21-30), and various unsanitary conditions.

Most of these complaints were inspected and closed without violations being issued, though the presence of mold and noted ceiling concerns were categorized as emergency issues. Additionally, there was a complaint regarding building vibrations or stability concerns filed with the Department of Buildings on June 26, 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation on their final attempt. While many of these issues have been addressed, the frequency and variety of complaints in summer 2023, particularly regarding electrical systems and pest problems, suggest potential ongoing maintenance challenges in this two-family structure.
