234 Morningstar Road, Staten Island, NY 10303

This two-family house at 234 Morningstar Road in Mariners Harbor, owned by Morsy Said, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues since late 2024, with the most pressing concerns centering around Apartment 2 on the second floor. As of January 2025, there are several active violations related to unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations (mice and roaches), safety concerns (missing carbon monoxide detector), and various maintenance issues including problems with the sink cabinet, floors, and plumbing.

The building has also faced significant safety and habitability challenges, including a carbon monoxide detector violation, mold concerns, and multiple plumbing issues in late 2024. The property has an ongoing illegal occupancy issue, with active violations from September 2024 regarding unauthorized additional bedrooms created in the attic space, along with associated electrical work performed without proper permits.

Historical complaints show a pattern of access issues for inspections, as seen in complaints from 2019 and 2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access to the building. Other significant violations include a building shake/vibration complaint from late 2024 that resulted in a request for corrective action, and an electrical wiring issue that required corrective action in August 2024. While some complaints from 2025 have been closed, including a heat/hot water issue, the accumulation of violations, particularly in Apartment 2, suggests ongoing maintenance and safety challenges within the building.
