533 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 533 Van Duzer Street in Stapleton, owned by Michael Breen, has recently experienced multiple concerning maintenance issues as of October 2024. On October 30, 2024, the building received three inspection-related complaints: one regarding plumbing and water supply issues, another concerning wall paint and plaster conditions, and a third related to an unsanitary pest infestation.

The plumbing and water supply issue, while noted as non-emergency, and the wall paint concern were both classified as non-emergency situations, while a separate heat and hot water problem noted as an emergency was also documented. The most significant issues appear to be in the first-floor apartment, where official violations were issued for both pest infestation and paint problems. Specifically, the building received a Class A violation for peeling paint surfaces in the foyer that required repair using light-colored paint to the satisfaction of the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Additionally, a Class B violation was issued for a roach infestation that required abatement throughout the entire first-floor apartment. While both violations were officially closed following certification on November 19, 2024, their occurrence indicates a period of maintenance challenges within the building. The property, which dates back to 1915, is classified as a two-family house and has been subject to these recent housing maintenance code violations, though subsequent inspections did not find additional housing law violations beyond those documented.
