290 Brookfield Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10308

The two-family home at 290 Brookfield Avenue in Great Kills, built in 1975 and currently owned by Daling Chen, has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in March 2023, the building faced multiple emergency complaints including issues with heat and hot water throughout the entire building, as well as problems related to cooking gas - all of which resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While these violations were subsequently addressed, the gas utility issues appear to have persisted, as evidenced by a Department of Buildings gas utility referral complaint filed in March 2023 which remained unresolved as of September 2023 when access was denied for inspection on the second attempt. More recently, in mid-2024, there was a complaint regarding flooring conditions that was investigated by HPD and ultimately closed without any violations being issued.

This indicates some responsiveness to maintenance concerns, though the lack of violations in this instance doesn't necessarily imply that the flooring issues were fully resolved. The building's documented issues suggest a pattern of problems related to essential services and infrastructure, particularly in early 2023 when multiple emergency complaints were filed concurrently. While there have been no reported incidents in the past year, the historical data indicates that residents have experienced disruptions to basic services and safety concerns in the recent past.
