142 Hendricks Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 142 Hendricks Avenue in St. George, built in 1920 and currently owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there were multiple heating and hot water problems reported in late 2023, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with complaints filed between November 29, 2023, and December 1, 2023.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions, though one of the complaints was eventually closed in May 2024. The building has a documented history of unsanitary conditions, including multiple pest infestations reported in 2021-2022, and issues with garbage/recycling storage. Violations were issued for some of these situations, particularly in December 2021.

Additional concerns include an electrical lighting issue reported in late 2023 that remains closed as of May 2024, and various maintenance problems documented in December 2021, including a heavy water leak and a complaint related to paint/plaster conditions. The building's compliance history with the Department of Buildings shows two notable complaints: an illegal conversion complaint in March 2024 that could not be investigated due to lack of access, and a building stability concern in May 2019 that resulted in an Oath violation being served. This combination of heating, water, pest, and structural issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, with particular attention needed to address access issues preventing proper inspections and resolutions of reported problems.
