133 Woodcutters Lane, Staten Island, NY 10306

The two-family house at 133 Woodcutters Lane in Staten Island's Bay Terrace neighborhood, owned by Mita Garcia, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in late 2023, the building faced multiple urgent problems including flooring/stair concerns, electric lighting issues, mold, and sewage-related unsanitary conditions, all of which generated emergency housing maintenance code complaints.

The building's systems and infrastructure have shown persistent problems, with particular attention needed on electrical systems, as evidenced by two separate complaints in October and November 2023 leading to violations. The property has also experienced significant sanitary issues, particularly related to sewage, with multiple complaints about odors and a leak in July 2023. Health department investigations did not reveal any health code violations in September 2023 regarding drinking water, but earlier that month, there were advisories issued concerning sewage odors.

More recent developments in November 2023 included a vibration or stability complaint, which resulted in an Oath violation being served. Despite these numerous complaints and violations, it's worth noting that several inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development failed to produce any formal violations, though multiple service requests resulted in various resolutions. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both its physical systems and sanitary conditions, particularly regarding electrical infrastructure and plumbing systems.
