77 Simonson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family residence at 77 Simonson Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Joseph Kaufmann, is a two-story building constructed in 1915, containing 4 units. The property has experienced several notable issues over recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in March 2020 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding safety concerns with both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, along with plumbing issues related to water supply.

This period also saw non-emergency complaints about wall paint/plaster conditions and water leakage. In late 2021, the building faced unsanitary conditions related to pests, which were documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints.

Earlier that same year, there were two incidents involving sewage odor that required intervention from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). The only Department of Buildings complaint on record from September 2019 resulted in an inspector being unable to gain access to the property during a final inspection attempt. While many of these issues have been officially closed, the pattern of complaints, particularly during 2020 and 2021, suggests there have been ongoing challenges with building maintenance and safety systems.
