119 Cortelyou Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10308

The 165-unit, 2-story building at 119 Cortelyou Avenue in Great Kills, owned by Sandra Mondadori, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to water issues, over the past two years. Most notably, in July 2024, the building had multiple emergency-level complaints, including mold problems, heavy water leaks, and issues with cabinets and ceiling conditions, some of which resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations.

The building has shown recurring water-related problems since 2023, with several documented heavy flow leak complaints and a notable cluster of maintenance issues in mid-2024, including violations regarding fire doors in the cellar area and various repairs needed in basement apartment B1, such as addressing water leaks, a broken ceiling fan, and issues with plastered surfaces. Earlier complaints from 2023 also indicated concerns about heat and hot water system reliability, though these were reported as having been resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no reported bedbug infestations or eradications in the 2023-2024 reporting period and previous rodent inspections in 2015, 2016, and 2022 showing all passed results.

A separate complaint regarding ventilation from January 2023 could not be investigated due to lack of access. The most recent building inspection data up to October 2023 shows a pattern of water-related issues being the most persistent problem, necessitating multiple complaints and interventions over time. While some violations have been officially closed after certification of corrections, the frequency and nature of water-related issues suggests these remain an ongoing maintenance focus for the building.
