78 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10301
78 Van Duzer Street is a two-story, two-family residential building located in Stapleton, built in 1925 and currently owned by Eva Youboty. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2024, including open violations related to plumbing (leaky bathroom faucet), wall paint, refrigerator door gasket, entrance door frame, bathroom floor tiles, and mold infestation in apartment 2. The building has a documented history of infrastructure problems, particularly during late 2021 and 2019, when multiple complaints about heat/hot water, electrical issues, and plumbing problems were reported and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).
These included building-wide power outages and heating system failures, with some violations issued during these inspections. In 2023, an Environmental Control Board violation was recorded regarding the building's facade condition, noting approximately 20 feet of missing brick above second-story windows and deteriorating masonry, resulting in a $2,500 penalty that remains active. The most recent inspections from 2024 (March-April) generated multiple service requests covering various maintenance issues, including plumbing, doors, flooring, and appliance problems.
While some historical complaints from 2019-2021 were resolved without violations being issued, the pattern of repeated heating and electrical issues suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The building's facade condition was addressed in 2024 with the installation of a sidewalk shed, though this violation was later dismissed following repairs being observed during inspection. Regular rodent inspections between 2012-2017 show generally passing results, with only one failure for "Other Reasons" noted in 2012. While many past complaints were resolved through inspections and repairs, the current open violations from 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
