2431 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10314

The two-family house at 2431 Victory Boulevard in Westerleigh, owned by Mitchell Pacifico, has exhibited two notable incidents in recent history that warrant attention.

In late October 2020, the building experienced a heat and hot water complaint that qualified as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code; however, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access to inspect the reported issues, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution. More recently, in November 2022, there was a complaint filed with the Department of Buildings regarding an illegal conversion of the property.

While this complaint remained open until February 2023, inspections were conducted on two separate occasions (February 2, 2023, being the second final attempt) where the inspector was again unable to gain access to the premises, leading to the complaint's closure. Considering the property's history, particularly the repeated access issues during inspections and the concerning nature of both complaints (one pertaining to essential services and another regarding possible unauthorized modifications), these incidents highlight ongoing challenges with access to the building for regulatory inspections and potential compliance issues dating back to 2020.
