773 Van Duzer Street, Staten Island, NY 10304

This two-family residential building at 773 Van Duzer Street in Clifton, built in 1899 and owned by James Bonfiglio, has a history of recurring heat and hot water issues spanning several years, with the most recent cluster of complaints in early 2023 involving the entire building, following similar emergencies in 2021 that affected only apartments. The building has also experienced multiple maintenance challenges, including pest infestations and door-related problems, with three service requests filed on the same day in January 2023 regarding these issues.

Historical records indicate other maintenance concerns between 2019-2021, including issues with an electric/gas range, various door and window problems, and painting/plaster work requirements, all of which were ultimately closed with no violations found. Two significant complaints stand out in the Department of Buildings records: a gas utility referral in January 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct their investigation, and an illegal conversion complaint from August 2019 that resulted in an Oath violation being served in February 2020.

While these historical incidents have been resolved, the pattern of heat/hot water-related emergencies, particularly the more recent complaints in 2023, suggests this remains an ongoing concern for residents. The building's current status as of July 2025 shows no active complaints on record, but the frequency and nature of past issues warrant attention to potential recurring maintenance challenges.
