230 Benziger Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

This two-family house located at 230 Benziger Avenue in St. George, built in 1920 and currently owned by Gary Grinberg, has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly in 2022, with the most significant problems occurring between January and November of that year.

The building faced multiple heat and hot water system failures, with four separate complaints recorded, including emergency complaints on January 29 and November 20-21, 2022. During the initial months of 2022, the property was also cited for various violations including mold issues, electrical outlet problems, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and a safety concern regarding smoke detectors - all of which were documented in January-February 2022. The Department of Buildings records from 2019 show several construction-related complaints, primarily revolving around work being done contrary to approved plans, though these complaints were ultimately dismissed with stop work orders being fully rescinded by June 2019.

There was also an illegal activity complaint in August 2018 that resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. As of October 2023, there remains one active violation from February 2019 regarding the intent to revoke a permit (#520322856), though this was previously dismissed in July 2023. Despite these various issues, most of the complaints have been resolved through inspections and appropriate actions, with the building's most recent documented problems being over two years old.
