506 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304
The 506 Van Duzer Street property, currently owned by Kevin Wong, is a 3-story, 2-family house built in 1899 in the Stapleton neighborhood. The building's history from 2019 to 2024 reveals several compliance issues, most notably concerning unauthorized modifications and occupancy violations.
Multiple complaints throughout 2020-2024 have been related to illegal conversions, non-conforming zoning, and illegal hotel room concerns, with the most recent zoning violation resulting in an Oath Violation served in May 2024. A significant sequence of events occurred regarding the building's cellar space, which was investigated in 2019 when it was found to contain unauthorized full apartment features including a bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities, leading to two Environmental Control Board violations related to improper work and building use. The building has faced access issues during inspections, with officials being unable to gain entry on multiple occasions, particularly noted in 2020 and 2021 concerning illegal conversion investigations and failure to comply with vacate orders.
A covered vehicle parking violation was cited in May 2024, resulting in an active $500 penalty, though the building’s most recent significant structural concern from 2019 regarding a bulging/cracked retaining wall showed no violation at the time of inspection. On a positive note, the property passed a rodent inspection in October 2014, suggesting some level of maintenance compliance. The building's records show a pattern of non-compliance with building codes and zoning regulations, particularly relating to unauthorized conversions and modifications, though many of the historical violations have been resolved or closed through inspections.
