42 Tompkins Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 42 Tompkins Street in Clifton, owned by Frank Wood, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, there were complaints about unsanitary conditions involving pests and problems with heat and hot water, though inspectors were unable to gain access for proper evaluation in both cases.

The building has a documented history of maintenance challenges throughout 2023, with multiple complaints received in April of that year, including issues with plumbing (affecting the bathtub/shower, sink, and toilet), mold, and flooring conditions. While inspectors conducted evaluations of these complaints, it's worth noting that no violations were issued in these April inspections.

Additional significant events include a complaint about garbage and recycling storage received in June 2023, which resulted in violations being issued, and the building's heating system was flagged as potentially defective or inoperative during a 2019 inspection, though access was not granted for verification. This property, built in 1899, has been the subject of multiple housing maintenance code complaints, with various issues ranging from plumbing problems to pest infestations and wall damage. While many of these complaints were categorized as non-emergency, the recurring nature of the issues, particularly regarding unsanitary conditions, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
