430 Jersey Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-story, two-family house at 430 Jersey Street in Tompkinsville, owned by Daren Dorval and built in 1899, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with several concerning patterns emerging. In mid-2023, the building faced multiple simultaneous problems including plumbing issues (affecting both the bathtub/shower and sink), heat and hot water problems, ceiling paint/plaster concerns, and pest infestations, all of which required emergency responses from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

By early 2024, additional complications arose, including water leaks and mold issues, with one notable incident in April 2024 involving no heat or hot water service that required emergency intervention from HPD. The building's most recent recorded incident, from early 2025, involved a food spoilage complaint addressed by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

While some inspections of various reported issues were completed, access to units has been a recurring problem for inspectors, particularly regarding reports of pests, door frame issues, heat and hot water problems, and certain unsanitary conditions. Despite these repeated maintenance challenges, it's worth noting that not all complaints resulted in violations being issued, though specific citations were documented in mid-2023 for plumbing, heat/hot water, and ceiling problems. The building has two residential units and has been under its current ownership for an extended period, with the most significant maintenance challenges appearing to cluster around mid-2023 through 2024.
