153 Brighton Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10301
The two-family house at 153 Brighton Avenue in Tompkinsville, owned by Gary Grinberg, has a concerning history of maintenance issues, particularly between 2018-2019 when the building experienced significant fire damage that rendered it vacant and resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances. During this period, the building was cited for serious structural problems including damaged front facade, missing windows, and unsecured entries, with penalties totaling over $39,000.
More recently, in 2023, the property faced multiple health and safety issues, including rodent problems, sewage leaks, and mold concerns, resulting in violations from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The building has continued to struggle with rodent issues in 2025, with recent inspections showing rat activity and the application of bait as a response measure.
The property has a history of both emergency and non-emergency plumbing problems, particularly related to sinks and basins, and while some complaints were closed without violations, the pattern of repeated issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and two-story configuration classify it as a typical two-family house in Staten Island, though its recent maintenance history raises persistent concerns about building upkeep and habitability.
