154 Corson Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

154 Corson Avenue is a two-family house located in St. George, Staten Island, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Craig Fine. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly during December 2021, when multiple complaints were made through both 311 and the Housing Maintenance Code system, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to evaluate the problems.

These emergency complaints were all subsequently closed, but they indicate a significant heating system reliability issue during that period. In addition, there were electrical concerns raised in July 2021 and December 2021 regarding outlets and switches, though again, inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The property has faced rodent-related challenges, with inspections in July 2021 and December 2021 both confirming rat activity.

This follows a series of rat inspections between 2010 and 2017, with the most recent compliance inspection in December 2021 finding ongoing rodent issues. More recently, in July 2024, two complaints were filed regarding illegal conversion and work contrary to a stop work order, both for the address "10301", though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the illegal conversion claim. However, the Department of Buildings ultimately found the second complaint unsubstantiated based on their records. The building has passed several inspections between 2010 and 2017, but the pattern of complaints and violations, particularly regarding heating systems and pest control, is notable.
