504 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The three-story, two-family house at 504 Van Duzer Street in Stapleton, built in 1899 and currently owned by Selim Muratovic, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly affecting the second apartment. In July 2019, multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations were documented in Apartment 2, including problems with plaster surfaces and paint in the bathroom, leaky bathtub faucets, and a defective kitchen switch cover plate.

Of particular concern was the discovery of mold in the bathroom caulking, which was initially cited as an A-class violation but later upgraded to B-class due to its potential health implications; this violation was officially certified as corrected in December 2019. The building has a documented history of rodent inspections in 2014, with initial inspections in March and October resulting in failures for unspecified "Other Reasons," though subsequent compliance inspections in April and November of that year passed.

A third rodent inspection in July 2013 had also passed, indicating some fluctuating challenges with pest control during that period. While the most recent documented violations relate to 2019 and have been marked as closed, it's worth noting that the building's documented history shows periodic maintenance challenges that potentially impacted resident comfort during that era.
