16 Vulcan Street, Staten Island, NY 10305

The two-family house at 16 Vulcan Street in Arrochar, owned by Liang Cheng Zhang and constructed in 1925, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2019. The building underwent multiple inspections and service requests related to heat and hot water problems, with seven complaints between February and May 2019, though inspectors were frequently unable to gain access to verify the reported issues. Additional complaints during 2019 included rodent sightings, indoor air quality concerns, and window pane problems.

The property faced multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2019, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment, with issues including water leaks, electrical problems, and defective ceilings. There were also serious concerns about illegal apartment conversions and occupancy violations in early 2019, with the Department of Buildings noting unauthorized construction of living spaces in the garage area. The building's maintenance history shows periods of both major violations and compliance, with some violations taking time to resolve.

Notable issues included the failure to maintain proper heat systems and the presence of chemical odors. More recent records from 2023 show at least one new permit was issued (Job #540244074) in January 2023, though specific details about this work were not provided in the available data. The last available inspection for rodent control was passed in September 2019, and previous inspections in 2012 showed some failures that were noted as "Other Reasons." While some violations from 2019 were dismissed or resolved, several open violations related to water leaks, light fixtures, and safety systems were recorded during 2019 inspections.
