221 Morningstar Road, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 221 Morningstar Road in Mariners Harbor, owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues over the past few years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in April 2024. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including reports of water leaks, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and mold problems; notably, all these complaints were closed without violations being issued.

There was also a plumbing-related complaint regarding the bathtub/shower that HPD could not inspect upon their initial visit. Prior to this, in May 2023, there was a sewage leak incident investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were recorded. The property has a documented history of rodent inspection issues in 2010, with failed inspections in April and September of that year, while a compliance inspection in June 2010 passed.

From 2019 through 2025, multiple permits have been issued for the property, with the most recent ones in 2025 showing permit activity continuing into the current year. These permits, all associated with job number 520104020, indicate ongoing maintenance or improvement work, with three permits issued in 2024 alone (April, January, and June). A Department of Buildings complaint was filed and closed in January 2024 regarding a sweep, which was inspected the same day with no violations found.
