13 Barker Street, Staten Island, NY 10310

The two-family house at 13 Barker Street in Randall Manor, owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple urgent health and safety concerns were documented, including violations related to mold, pests (specifically roach infestation), water leaks, and window damage in the first-floor apartment. The building has also been subject to various infrastructure and safety violations, including broken plastered surfaces, a defective carbon monoxide detector, and issues with window panes - one of which had apparently been covered with plywood.

These recent violations are particularly concerning as they indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's history reveals previous compliance issues regarding gas equipment, with violations noted in 2019 for improper venting of water heaters and boilers, resulting in fines totaling $3,750. While these were eventually resolved, they indicate past regulatory compliance challenges.

A separate complaint from 2022 regarding a window pane could not be inspected due to lack of access. The current known violations, as of July 2024, primarily affect the first-floor apartment and include both health-related issues (such as mold and pest infestation) and physical maintenance concerns (such as broken windows and water leaks). An inspection in July 2024 revealed multiple open violations, including an active mold problem and window repairs needed, though some violations from this inspection were marked as resolved by August 2024.
