128 St Pauls Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 128 St Pauls Avenue in Tompkinsville, owned by Kashaf Syar, has a significant history of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most recently, in August 2023, there were two concerning incidents: an unaddressed rat sighting complaint where inspectors could not gain access to the property, and a violation involving an unmaintained swimming pool for which the owner was issued a summons. The property experienced recurring issues with the swimming pool maintenance, with similar violations noted in 2021.

Between late 2020 and early 2021, there was a cluster of plumbing-related complaints, including water supply problems and issues with various fixtures (toilet, sink, bathtub/shower) throughout the building, though inspection access was denied in all these cases. The building's condition raised multiple serious concerns in late 2020, when a series of violations were documented in Apartment 1, including problems with water supply (both hot and cold), plumbing fixtures, floor conditions, and safety equipment. These violations remained open as of the latest records, including issues with water supply systems, waste lines, and the need for floor repairs.

Additional concerns were noted regarding the building's front stairs, with violations for defective wood treads. While rodent inspections in 2011 and August 2023 showed passing results, the most recent attempt to investigate a rat sighting in 2023 was unsuccessful due to access issues. Despite the building being over 120 years old, these records suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to plumbing systems and water-related infrastructure.
