739 Henderson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 739 Henderson Avenue in Randall Manor, constructed in 2005 and currently owned by Ming Wu Chen, has experienced notable pest-related issues over the past decade and a half. Most recently, in September 2023, there was an unverified rodent sighting complaint through the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), and in May 2023, there was a reported unsanitary condition involving pests that the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to inspect.

This pattern of pest-related complaints is concerning, particularly as the current and recent complaints from 2023 were not able to be inspected upon filing. The building has a documented history of rodent inspection activity from 2010-2012, during which there were multiple compliance inspections yielding a mix of passed and failed results, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest management.

Additionally, there was a food poisoning complaint filed with DOHMH in July 2018, though specific outcomes of the investigation are not detailed in the available records. While the building's age suggests it should be well-maintained, the recurring nature of pest-related issues and the recent inability of inspection agencies to access the property raise questions about current maintenance practices and access protocols for regulatory inspections.
