195 Benziger Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301

195 Benziger Avenue is a two-family residence located in St. George, built in 1925 and currently owned by Indira Berdica.

The property has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2022, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between August 30 and September 2. Issues identified during this period included problems with lighting, electrical outlets, plumbing (including a sink issue), flooring, doors/windows, wall and ceiling surfaces, water leaks, and mold, although no violations were ultimately issued for these complaints. A particularly concerning set of violations was documented following a January 2022 inspection of Apartment 1, where multiple issues were identified, including problems with plumbing fixtures (basin and bathtub), mold (affecting ceiling, walls, and door frame), water leaks, wall and ceiling surfaces requiring repairs, and ventilation issues.

The apartment was found to be missing carbon monoxide detectors, and various structural elements such as floor, window frame, and door components were noted as requiring attention. While these violations appeared significant, it's worth noting that as of the most recent data available, they were still showing as "Open" with no certified correction dates. The building's rodent inspection history reveals a mix of results between 2014 and 2017, with two failures for unspecified reasons, though more recent inspections in 2016-2017 showed compliance.
