48 Oxford Place, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 48 Oxford Place in Tompkinsville, currently owned by Muslija Hidric, has demonstrated persistent maintenance and health challenges since 2021. Most recently, in 2024, there have been multiple documented rodent-related issues, with July and September inspections showing rat activity and violations noted by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The property experienced significant maintenance code enforcement activity in late 2023, with multiple non-emergency complaints investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in November, covering various issues including electric problems (outlets and lighting), flooring, windows, walls, and mold – though no violations were ultimately issued. Earlier in 2023, the building faced more serious concerns when nine Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded, primarily affecting the first-floor apartment and including issues with lead-based paint, a broken kitchen cabinet, and problems with hallway surfaces. The building has a history of illegal conversion complaints dating back to 2021, though these were ultimately closed due to access issues during inspections.

Despite these persistent issues, the property has maintained a clean bedbug report for the last two filing periods (2023-2025). The ongoing rodent activity is particularly noteworthy, with multiple inspections between 2022 and 2024 consistently showing evidence of infestations, though compliance measures including bait application have been implemented. While many complaints have been resolved through inspections, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
