21 Anderson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 21 Anderson Avenue in Port Richmond, built in 1930 and currently owned by Amara Oluigbo, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most pressing are three concurrent complaints from May 2025 involving mold, damp spots, and flooring problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections of these issues. In January 2022, the property had a heat/hot water emergency in Apartment 2 that resulted in violations for inadequate heat supply in one room on the second floor.

The building has a concerning history of access issues for inspectors, as evidenced by complaints in 2019 regarding electrical wiring and plumbing work, where inspectors were unable to gain entry after multiple attempts. Earlier records show various maintenance and compliance challenges, including a rodent inspection failure in 2016 and an electrical work violation in 2019 related to unauthorized exterior light fixture installation. In 2020, there was a complaint about work contrary to a stop work order, though no violation was found at the time of inspection.

There are two recent HPD complaints from May 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and water leaks, both of which were classified as non-emergency and closed without resolution. A permit for electrical work was issued in November 2021, though it's unclear what specific improvements this addressed. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges and accessibility issues for inspection purposes, which have prevented comprehensive evaluations of the reported problems.
