661 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 661 Van Duzer Street in Stapleton, owned by Gordon Coffey, has experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout 2023 that warrant attention. Most notably, there are **active lead paint violation(s)** related to peeling paint in both the bathroom and kitchen of Apartment A, requiring proper remediation under NYC regulations. The building has documented problems with its plumbing systems, including **leaky bathroom fixtures** and sink connections, particularly affecting both second-floor apartments.

Electrical safety is another concern, with violations recorded for **defective wiring** in hallway fixtures and improper electrical equipment usage. Multiple complaints have been filed regarding general maintenance issues, including cabinet problems, lighting concerns, and water flow issues, though many of these were closed without violations being issued. The property has also faced some concerning safety issues, including **egress problems** with blocked or improperly maintained exit pathways, though some of these were resolved through Oath Violations.

The building's stairways have been cited for being partially obstructed, presenting a potential safety hazard. A rodent inspection from 2012 indicated compliance issues, though this may no longer be relevant given its age. While many complaints have been addressed through inspections, with some being marked as "closed" or with no violations issued, the presence of both active lead paint violations and ongoing maintenance issues suggests a pattern of delayed or incomplete repairs. The most recent documented construction work dates back to 1901, indicating no recent major renovations of record.
