191 Roff Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 191 Roff Street in Park Hill, owned by Joseph Terranova, has experienced several significant maintenance and legal issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are persistent mold problems, with an open Class C violation from August 2021 documenting approximately 30 square feet of visible mold on the bathroom walls and ceiling in Apartment 2. The property has also faced serious occupancy and safety concerns, including an active Environmental Control Board violation (with a $6,250 penalty) from June 2019 regarding unlawful occupancy and illegal rooms in the basement, along with an unauthorized gas range and kitchen sink.

This situation was documented in multiple Health Code violations in June 2019, including issues with a gas range and illegal cooking space in the basement, and improper use of plumbing fixtures. Additional safety violations in 2019 involved missing carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2, though these were subsequently closed when addressed. Two complaints about illegal conversion of the property (both in 2019 and 2022) resulted in inspection access being denied, with the 2019 incident linking the violations to an illegally converted basement with multiple unauthorized features.

The building's history of violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges and potential safety concerns, particularly regarding mold and carbon monoxide detection systems. The persistence of open violations, including the 2021 mold issue and active ECB violation related to illegal basement modifications, indicates ongoing regulatory compliance challenges. The property has been cited for both housing maintenance code violations and environmental control board violations, with most issues centering around the basement area and safety equipment concerns. While some previous violations have been resolved (such as the 2019 mold issue that was closed), many notable violations remain open as of 2023.
