106 Winter Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 106 Winter Avenue in St. George, built in 1910 and currently owned by Katsnelson 102-106 Winter Ave LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are active violations as of 2021 related to unauthorized alterations in the cellar area, including the creation of bedrooms and installation of bathroom facilities without proper permits, for which the owner was fined $2,500 (two $1,250 penalties) that remains due.

The building has faced multiple unsanitary conditions in recent years, with recurring complaints about garbage storage and animal issues, including two dog-related complaints in early 2025, though recent inspections have shown some improvements, including a passed rodent inspection in January 2025. A series of complaints in June 2024 highlighted multiple concerns including broken window guards, inadequate lighting, missing signage, and garbage storage issues, all of which were closed without violations being issued. Historical issues include pest infestations in 2020 and sewage problems in 2018, both marked as emergency situations.

The building's rodent inspection history shows some improvements over time, with the most recent January 2025 inspection passing, though this follows multiple failures in 2016 and 2017. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in 2020 regarding unauthorized modifications, though access was denied during inspection attempts. While many complaints and inspection results show no violations being issued upon inspection, the frequency and variety of issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent improvements in the past year regarding rodent control and the resolvement of some sanitation issues are notable.
