102 Winter Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

The three-story, four-unit building at 102 Winter Avenue in St. George, owned by Boris Katsnelson and constructed in 1910, has experienced persistent maintenance challenges throughout 2023-2025. Most notably, the property has recurring issues with pest infestations, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests filed through both 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, including four separate pest-related complaints in May 2025 alone.

The building has also faced significant plumbing and water-related problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations regarding water supply issues, leaks, and even mold concerns in June 2025. The property underwent inspection in 2023, revealing several maintenance issues that required attention, including a mouse infestation in Apartment 1F, various repair needs in both 1F and 2R (including bathroom plaster and cabinet repairs), and window frame concerns. Past violations include an excessive hot water temperature issue in 2020 in Apartment 2F, where temperatures reached 166°F.

The building's rodent inspection history is particularly concerning, with the most recent inspection in July 2025 resulting in a "Failed for Other Reasons" designation, following patterns of rat activity in 2022 and previous compliance failures in 2017 and 2016. While some violations have been certified as corrected, including those from the 2023 inspections, the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also experienced various other maintenance issues, including window frame problems (most recently in May 2025), and heating/hot water complaints (January 2025). While some complaints were resolved through inspections and violations were issued requiring correction, there have been instances where inspectors were unable to gain access or complete inspections, particularly regarding pest-related complaints in early 2025.
