63 Barker Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 63 Barker Street in Randall Manor, owned by Ellen Kliger, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months, particularly during December 2024, when multiple complaints were logged through HPD and Housing Maintenance Code channels. A series of emergency complaints were filed on December 16, 2024, including issues with the building's heat/hot water system, water supply, water leakage (heavy flow), porch/balcony condition, ventilation system, garbage/recycling storage, window/ frame condition, wall paint/plaster, electrical outlets/switches, mold presence, and stairs/flooring concerns.

While these complaints were subsequently closed in December 2024 through the Housing Maintenance Code process, they indicate substantial ongoing maintenance challenges. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations, with a notable inspection in February 2024 revealing multiple issues in Apartment A, including problems with bathroom tiles, wall paint, heating system, mold presence, pest infestation, window repair needs, kitchen flooring issues, and defective carbon monoxide detecting devices. Most of these violations were certified as corrected by March 2024, though one mold violation remained open.

The property has undergone several rodent inspections between 2010 and 2023, with mixed results; while the most recent inspection in April 2023 passed, previous inspections showed failures for various reasons. Additional complaints regarding the property were filed in August 2023 concerning potential illegal conversions and illegal hotel rooms, though inspectors were reportedly unable to access the building for final verification. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues requiring attention, with the most recent batch of complaints indicating potential ongoing challenges with building systems and basic maintenance.
