42 De Hart Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 42 De Hart Avenue in Mariners Harbor, owned by Matthew Tinacci, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent months, particularly in early 2025. Between February and March 2025, the property was the subject of multiple emergency complaints, including problems with carbon monoxide detection, heating and hot water systems, floor conditions, door issues, and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors.

While the majority of these complaints were inspected and found not to violate housing laws, they represent a concerning pattern of maintenance issues requiring attention. More recently, in March 2025, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions and pests, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct a proper inspection. The building's historical records reveal a mixed maintenance history.

There have been multiple rodent inspections, with the most recent passing in 2018, though several previous inspections between 2009 and 2010 had varying results, including some failures for "Other Reasons." The property has experienced recurring issues with various systems and safety features, including electrical problems (specifically lighting issues), plumbing concerns (bathtub/shower problems), door and window deficiencies, paint/plaster issues, and safety equipment concerns such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. While many recent complaints have been closed, it is notable that the conditions observed during inspections did not typically warrant violations under housing laws, suggesting that while issues were present, they may not have reached the level of formal legal violations. The persistence and variety of complaints across different systems and safety features indicate ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, though many recent complaints have been resolved through inspection and closure processes.
