65 Wainwright Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312

The two-family house at 65 Wainwright Avenue in Arden Heights, owned by Amged Awad, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2006. Most notably, in September 2021, the property faced multiple unresolved complaints, including water leak issues (both heavy flow and slow leaks), window-related problems (including broken/missing guards and frame defects), unsanitary conditions (mold), and ceiling paint/plaster concerns.

These complaints were all closed due to the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department's inability to gain access for inspection. Prior to this, the building had documented plumbing issues in February 2019, with violations related to sink and waste line problems in both apartments, along with electrical issues involving inadequate lighting in the public hall. There were also rodent-related complaints in 2020, with conditions attracting rodents reported and followed up by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations, as of March 2019, including issues with waste lines at bathroom washbasins in both apartments (2FL and 2NDFL), a broken or defective light fixture at the front of the building, and inadequate lighting in the public hall. While some of these violations date back to 2019 and the 2021 complaints were marked as closed, they indicate persistent maintenance challenges for the property. The 2021 complaints, which included both emergency and non-emergency categories, suggest a period of significant maintenance concerns requiring attention to various aspects of the building's infrastructure, including plumbing, safety features, and general upkeep.
