The Romanian national, who was born in Ukraine, is the second man to be charged over the alleged attacks earlier this month.
Carpiuc posted on a modelling website how he started his career “quite recently” and wants to be the top “male model in the world”.
He appeared at Westminster Magistrates’ Court where spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
He is accused of conspiring together with Roman Lavrynovych to damage property by fire, intending to damage the property, and intending to endanger life following the fires on May 8, 11 and 12.
Carpiuc was denied bail and will next appear at the Old Bailey on June 6.
Ukrainian national Lavrynovych is also set to appear on the same date charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.
A 34-year-old was also arrested on May 19 in the Chelsea area on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life. He remains in police custody.
London Fire Brigade were scrambled to Starmer’s former Kentish Town home at around 1.11am last Monday.
They confirmed there was “damage” to the front of the townhouse, which the Starmer family lived in before he was Prime Minister, but no one was hurt.
The alleged arson attack was linked to a 4×4 that was parked on the same street and sold to neighbours by Starmer.
Fire Crews were also called to the Islington home on May 11 where one person was taken to safety via an internal staircase.
Officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command led the investigation because of the connections to the PM.
Sir Keir has slammed the alleged arson attacks, saying: “This is an attack on all of us, democracy and the values that we stand for.”
