49 Boulder Street, Staten Island, NY 10312

The two-family house at 49 Boulder Street in Rossville, owned by Xueru Wu, is a two-story building constructed in 1999. The property has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most recent incident occurring in May 2025 involving a rat sighting that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no violations were found during their inspection.

A significant cluster of complaints emerged in June 2020, when tenants reported simultaneous issues with heat/hot water and cooking gas problems, both marked as emergency situations. While these complaints were investigated and subsequently closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development without any violations being issued, they coincided with a related complaint about illegal or defective gas hook-up/piping that was filed with the Department of Buildings on the same day, though inspectors found no violations at that time as well.

The building underwent two successful inspections in recent years: in May 2025, when it passed a rodent inspection, and an earlier inspection in 2023 where it received a "passed" designation for rodent-related concerns. It's noteworthy that while the property has had multiple complaints filed against it, in each instance the responding agencies found no violations upon inspection. The most recent rodent sighting in May 2025 appears to be an isolated incident, given that the property passed inspection shortly thereafter, and there have been no documented complaints about heat, hot water, or cooking gas issues since the 2020 incidents.
