39 Narrows Road North, Staten Island, NY 10305

39 Narrows Road North is a three-story, two-family house built in 1930 in the Shore Acres neighborhood, currently owned by Vincent Liguoro. The property has a significant history of building code violations and safety concerns, particularly notable in 2018 when multiple violations were recorded regarding illegal cellar modifications, including unauthorized living spaces, a gas range, and plumbing fixtures. These violations led to several Environmental Control Board citations for failure to comply with correction orders, though many were eventually resolved.

A notable series of rodent-related incidents was documented between 2021 and 2022, beginning with a rat sighting in October 2021 that resulted in Department of Health and Mental Hygiene violations, followed by multiple inspections in early 2022 confirming rat activity and the application of bait. More recent concerns include a Housing Maintenance Code complaint in April 2023 regarding smoke detector safety, classified as an emergency, which was closed the following day. There was also a Department of Buildings complaint in late 2020 regarding a Certificate of Occupancy issue, where inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple attempts.

The building's inspection history reveals consistent challenges with access for inspections and compliance verification, particularly during periods of multiple pending violations. While many of the original 2018 violations have been closed or resolved, and the property has not had major documented violations in recent years, the history suggests a pattern of delayed compliance and access issues that may warrant attention. This summary is based on available building records as of October 2023.
