888 Edgegrove Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10309

The two-family house at 888 Edgegrove Avenue, owned by Jianying Weng and built in 2014, has experienced a series of concerning issues throughout 2023-2024, with recurring problems related to heat/hot water systems, unsanitary conditions, and safety concerns. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints between January and July 2024, with both building-wide and apartment-specific issues reported.

The building has also faced significant sanitation challenges, including multiple mold incidents (January and March 2024) and a recent sewage complaint (July 2024) that HPD was unable to inspect. Safety systems appear to be problematic, with sprinkler system inspections conducted in July and August 2024 showing access issues, though no violations were ultimately noted.

The property has generated several Department of Buildings complaints, particularly regarding improper drainage/water retention and concerns about plumbing work and sprinkler systems in late 2023 through mid-2024, with multiple inspection attempts resulting in access issues. Interestingly, safety inspections conducted in early 2024 for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors found no violations. While some complaints have been resolved or closed without violations, the pattern of recurring issues suggests persistent challenges with building systems and maintenance.
