12 Rosewood Place, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 12 Rosewood Place in Tompkinsville, owned by Vincent Onwuemene, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most concerning being a series of heat and hot water complaints in October 2022. During this period, three emergency complaints were filed with HPD regarding the entire building's heating system, though inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple occasions to verify the conditions.

The building has also been subject to two illegal conversion complaints (2019 and 2022) and a gas utility referral (2021), with inspectors unable to gain access to the property in both illegal conversion cases. These issues warrant attention as they suggest possible unauthorized modifications to the building's original structure or systems. The property's historical maintenance record shows attention to rodent issues, with inspections in 2010 showing failed compliance for "Other Reasons" and a subsequent inspection passing in 2013.

Two smoking violation complaints were filed and resolved between October 2020 and June 2024, though the nature of the resolution is not specified in the records. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1920), these various complaints and violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly relating to heating systems and unauthorized modifications, though it's notable that many inspection attempts have been hindered by access issues. The most recent documented complaint was closed in February 2023, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records provided.
