5268 Arthur Kill Road, Staten Island, NY 10307

The building at 5268 Arthur Kill Road is a 2-family, 2-story structure built in 1931, currently owned by Renee Ross and comprising 4 units. The property has experienced several maintenance issues in the past year, with multiple complaints filed in December 2023 regarding stairs, mailboxes, and an intercom system.

Notably, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in December 2023, though these services were reportedly restored by the time of the HPD response. All these complaints were eventually closed after inspections, with no violations issued for the stairs and intercom issues, while the mailbox concerns were confirmed as corrected. The building's history reveals ongoing concerns about potential illegal conversions, with two complaints filed in 2022 and 2023, both resulting in inspections where the inspector was unable to gain access for verification.

Additionally, a zoning violation complaint from 2020 was resolved in 2021 with an Oath Violation being served. While the recent maintenance issues, particularly the heating problems, suggest some infrastructure challenges, it's worth noting that the building has addressed multiple complaints through proper channels, with most issues being resolved through inspections or corrections. The most recent and persistent concerns have primarily focused on common area maintenance, particularly stairs and access systems, rather than individual unit issues.
