2292 South Railroad Ave, Staten Island, NY 10306

The two-family house at 2292 South Railroad Avenue in Staten Island's Bay Terrace neighborhood, owned by Stephen Nagel, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 1960. In July 2022, a cluster of problems was reported and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in multiple violations.

These issues included unsanitary conditions (mold), electrical problems (outlets/switches and lighting), plumbing concerns (bathtub/shower), water leaks, window frame defects, and wall maintenance needs. An August 2022 inspection revealed additional specific violations in the second-floor apartment, including a leaky roof affecting the ceiling in one room, problems with window counterbalances, and requirements for painting walls and ceilings with light-colored paint. The violations also noted necessary repairs for a water leak in the kitchen, a leaky bathtub faucet, and a defective electrical outlet.

Since these incidents, there have been no reported bedbug infestations, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022 through 2025 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While the building has been subject to various code violations and maintenance issues, the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years is a positive note. However, as of the latest information available, there remain several open violations from the 2022 inspection, indicating that some previous maintenance issues may still require attention.
