70 Van Buren Street, Staten Island, NY 10301

The two-family house at 70 Van Buren Street in the New Brighton neighborhood, owned by Cheng Pan, has undergone several maintenance challenges since 2010. Most notably, in February 2018, multiple violations were recorded in the second-story apartment 2, including inadequate hot and cold water supply at the kitchen sink, leaky bathroom bathtub faucets, and defective plastered surfaces and paint issues in both the kitchen and first-story public hall.

These violations were all classified as "B" under the Housing Maintenance Code but have since been closed, suggesting they were addressed by the owner. The building's rodent inspection history reveals a pattern of problems between 2010 and 2016, with multiple failed inspections in 2012 (six failed and two passed between January and July) and one in December 2012.

However, the most recent rodent inspection in February 2016 resulted in a passed status, indicating an improvement in pest control management. Additional maintenance issues noted in 2018 included problems with the first-story public hall ceiling and missing balusters at the public hall stairs, though the current status of these repairs is not specified in the records. The building, which was constructed in 1915 and consists of two stories, has shown some improvement in maintenance compliance over time, with no new violations recorded in the years following the 2018 inspections as of October 2023.
