5 North Street, Staten Island, NY 10302

5 North Street is a two-family residential building located in Port Richmond, Staten Island, built in 1930 and currently owned by Dagoberto Hernandez. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in August 2023 when multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). These complaints included concerns about stairs and flooring, water leaks, windows, electrical wiring, heating systems, and various unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations.

While inspections were conducted for each complaint, no violations were ultimately issued, and all complaints were closed. The building has also faced specific maintenance challenges in February 2023, particularly in Apartment 5B, where violations related to plumbing and hygiene were documented. These included issues with a malfunctioning toilet flushing apparatus, a clogged bathtub waste line, and an ongoing roach infestation.

While some of these violations were eventually closed, as of the last available data, at least two violations from February 2023 remained open, representing potential ongoing maintenance concerns. The property has a single floor plan, consisting of two stories with two residential units, and while the recent history shows a pattern of maintenance complaints, it's worth noting that no violations were formally upheld following inspections. The majority of issues appear to have been addressed through the complaint resolution process, though the presence of open violations from 2023 suggests there may still be some outstanding maintenance matters to be aware of.
