651 Leverett Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312

The two-family house at 651 Leverett Avenue in Arden Heights, owned by Robert Mack, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly affecting Apartment 2. Between August and October 2023, multiple violations were documented in Apartment 2, including problems with windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, and appliance ventilation, all of which were subsequently certified as corrected by December 2023.

These issues included defective window counter balances, plaster and paint deficiencies, leaky bathtub faucets, missing stove ventilation, and broken door locks. More recently, in early 2025, a series of complaints was filed regarding various maintenance issues, including sewage problems, water leaks, door/window concerns, electrical issues, and appliance problems. These complaints, which were categorized as both emergency and non-emergency, were opened in January 2025 and remained unresolved as of March 2025, primarily due to inspection access issues where inspectors were unable to gain entry for proper evaluation.

The building data also reveals an open violation as of August 2023 concerning defective carbon monoxide detecting devices in Apartment 2FL (first-floor). While some improvements were made evident through the closure of multiple violations, the recent wave of complaints in 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has not reported any major structural or safety violations, though the pattern of complaints indicates recurring issues with basic building systems and maintenance tasks, particularly affecting the electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and window/door functionality throughout the building.
