42 Mulberry Circle, Staten Island, NY 10314

The 2-family home at 42 Mulberry Circle in Bull's Head, owned by Michael Papir, was built in 1975 and consists of two stories. The building experienced a significant cluster of maintenance issues in February 2019, with multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Key concerns during this period included heating and hot water problems, plumbing issues (specifically related to toilets), safety concerns over smoke detectors, and unsanitary conditions including mold.

A total of eight complaints were logged between February 15 and February 22, 2019, covering various systems including ventilation, electrical outlets, and general safety concerns. While these complaints were ultimately closed between March 5 and March 12, 2019, it's notable that HPD was unable to gain access to inspect many of the reported conditions, particularly those relating to the heating system, ventilation, electrical issues, and some plumbing matters. Additionally, there was one complaint regarding pest issues in mid-February 2019, which was also resolved.

Since these incidents occurred in early 2019, no further complaints or violations have been recorded in the HPD system up to October 2023. While the building experienced multiple simultaneous maintenance issues during this brief period, it appears that these were addressed and resolved, with no subsequent complaints on record for over four years. However, the inability of HPD to gain access for inspections during many of these complaint investigations is a notable pattern from that period.
