61 Stieg Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10308

The two-family house at 61 Stieg Avenue in Great Kills, owned by Joann Pampinella, has experienced two notable maintenance issues in recent years, both of which raise concerns about the building's systems and tenant access. In late 2021, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint that required Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention, but inspectors were unable to access the apartment for verification of the reported system failure.

Prior to that, in October 2020, there was a non-emergency plumbing issue involving the bathtub/shower, which similarly could not be verified due to lack of access to the affected unit. Both complaints were officially closed by HPD, but with a cautionary note recommending that tenants submit new complaints if the reported conditions persisted.

The building, constructed in 1977 and consisting of two stories with three units, has had these two significant maintenance-related incidents over the past five years, with the more recent being a heating system complaint that might have affected multiple apartments. The inability of HPD to gain access to investigate these complaints raises questions about tenant communication and access protocols in responding to maintenance issues, though no specific violation or pattern of problems can be definitively established from this limited data set alone.
