102 Maple Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302

The two-family house at 102 Maple Avenue in Port Richmond, owned by Michael Socolick, has a significant number of ongoing maintenance issues as of early 2025. Most notably, there is a cluster of pest-related complaints, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions due to pests being filed between January and February 2025, including infestations of mice, cockroaches, and flies in Apartment 1F.

The building, constructed in 1915, currently has several open violations from an October 2024 inspection, including issues with mold (greater than 10 square feet), water leaks, broken window guards, and excessive hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees. These violations also document problems with water supply pipes, hallway ceiling leaks, and various pest infestations in both Apartment 1F and Apartment 1.

The property has experienced recent maintenance challenges requiring attention, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests in January 2025, including issues with door frames, cabinets, and plumbing fixtures. Between October 2024 and February 2025, a pattern emerges of inspection attempts being hindered by access issues, with HPD inspectors repeatedly unable to gain entry to conduct inspections despite following proper procedures and leaving notifications for residents. All these complaints and violations, many categorized as emergency or non-emergency situations, were filed through the Housing Maintenance Code system and 311 services, indicating a range of maintenance concerns that require ongoing attention.
