78 Corson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-unit, three-story building at 78 Corson Avenue in St. George, owned by Steve Veksler and constructed in 1920, currently has several open violations from a November 2023 inspection that warrant attention.

These include safety concerns with the rear yard fire escape, requiring both rust removal and repainting, as well as adjustment of a defective dropladder mechanism. Additionally, there is a violation regarding defective self-closing doors in the boiler room. The building has a consistent history of maintaining its rodent-free status, passing inspections in 2014, 2016, and 2017, with the most recent inspection in May 2025 also resulting in a passing grade.

While the property has had multiple Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2023, these were all closed out, and the most recent 2024 bedbug report (covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023) indicates no infestation issues, with zero units reported as infested, eradicated, or re-infested. This suggests the building has successfully maintained its pest control procedures, though the prior violations indicate some administrative oversight issues during that period. The combination of recent fire safety violations and past bedbug reporting issues suggests some lapses in building maintenance procedures, though the absence of recent bedbug incidents and the building's passing rodent inspections indicate improved pest management practices.
