20 Lockman Loop, Staten Island, NY 10303

The two-family house at 20 Lockman Loop in Mariners Harbor, owned by Martin Kirzner and built in 1992, has experienced a series of significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently open Housing Maintenance Code violations from November 2024 concerning Apartment B, including multiple issues such as a defective kitchen sink cabinet, refrigerator door gasket, vinyl floor tiles, bathroom door, and reported mouse infestation. The building has faced persistent plumbing problems, with multiple complaints about bathtubs/showers and sinks between 2024 and 2025, as well as heating and hot water issues affecting both individual apartments and the entire building in March 2025.

Recent inspections in 2025 have also revealed the presence of mold, though these complaints have been closed with violations issued. A concerning pattern of inspection access issues is evident, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 (including carbon monoxide detector and window issues) where HPD was unable to complete their inspections. The building also shows potential structural concerns, with a horizontal foundation crack noted in an April 2024 Department of Buildings violation.

While the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs (showing zero cases reported from 2014-2025) and passed rodent inspections in 2015, the recent cluster of maintenance and safety issues is notable. The building's age and history of plumbing and heating problems suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges, while the multiple violations and complaints about carbon monoxide detectors and heating systems indicate potential safety concerns. The most recent serious issues, including mold and plumbing problems, were recorded as recently as May 2025, suggesting these problems are not yet fully resolved.
