70 Gordon Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

70 Gordon Street is a two-family residence located in Staten Island's Stapleton neighborhood, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Mark Derosa. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, most notably in 2021 when multiple complaints were filed regarding various plumbing, electrical, and sanitary conditions. Between February and March 2021, there were documented problems with power outages, no lighting, an electric/gas range issue, and concerns about sewage and plumbing in both apartments.

In October 2021, housing violations were identified in Apartment 2, including lead-based paint hazards and the need for various walls and fixtures to be repainted to meet code requirements. The building has also faced ongoing pest control challenges, with rodent activity recorded in 2021 and compliance inspections through 2022 showing rat activity and the need for bait application. More recently, the property has demonstrated improved conditions, with no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent three annual filings (2023-2025).

The building's most recent rodent inspection in 2022 resulted in the application of bait, though prior inspections throughout 2014-2022 generally indicated some level of rodent activity requiring attention. While historical complaints indicate some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, records show many of these issues were addressed and closed out, with violations certified as fixed by March 2022. The building's systems have undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, and while the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, recent records suggest a trend toward improved conditions, particularly with regards to pest management.
