42 Coursen Place, Staten Island, NY 10304

The two-family house at 42 Coursen Place in Clifton, owned by Meidan Wang, is a two-story building constructed in 1920 that contains three residential units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a heating system problem in December 2023 where HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported lack of heat or hot water.

There was also a concerning cluster of rodent-related complaints in July 2023, with multiple reports of rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though earlier complaints had already been filed for the same location. The building's rodent inspection history shows a generally positive trend, with most inspections between 2014 and 2023 resulting in "Passed" results, though there were some failures for "Other Reasons" in 2014 and 2016, indicating past challenges with rodent control.

The property has one open Housing Maintenance Code violation from July 2023, related to a broken or defective light fixture in the private hallway of the second-floor apartment. Previous housing code violations appear to have been addressed, as inspections conducted in January 2023 (before the rodent complaints) showed only minor violations. The building's historical permit records show an issued permit in November 2018, though the specific details of the permitted work are not provided in the available data.
